Noid throw away Brassia
A NOID Trader Joe plant from my friend's trash heap. This thing has been growing in my patio for 3 years now. Every year two or more sets of blooms, and just add water kind of care.
Very spidery kind of effect, and it opened just before Halloween 
Enjoy

I hope my spider orchid will grow to be like that some day. I bought mine at trader joes and I almost killed it. I left it in the car during a hot day. It got really bad sunburn. But after a little care and repot I have new growth.
Mine looks just like yours. They are so cool and smell nice.

Hey Ordphien, where are you? I live in Hollywood and grow this plant in my patio, and honest to god, I just add water 2 times a week in summer and once a week or less in winter depend on rain. It grows and flowers right next to my cymbidiums. You should give it another try.

I'm in south orange county.
If I water twice a week they die.
Oncidium, brassia, intergenerics. They all die for me.
I have a green brassia, I was doing better. But the new growths roots aborted when they hit the media.
Which is always the reason they die.
I can never get the roots to penetrate the media before they die. |

I have several of these now, but I got my first one at TJs and the plant is gigantic. If it outgrows its current pot, it's going to have to go into a 1 gallon bucket. LOL!
It was pot bound in a 5" pot that was packed with probably 10 pbulbs. I repotted it when it was done blooming and now, a few months later, it's in spike again with 5 spikes this time. LOVE these orchids! Yours is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your photos!
