So I bought this at a local super market to add to my collection but have no idea what it is or how to care for it. Any ideas what it is guys? The pseduobulbs look very plump and round almost like onions. The flowers are very unique and different it's why I bought it. Well anything helps guys. Thanks :)

Encyclia perhaps? A photo would go a long way.

Probably Encyclia cordigera or hybrid of it.

Encyclia cordigera

Thank you for the link and the info. I am sure it's some sort of hybrid. It's not scented, yet.

It is Encyclia cordigera. They like well-drained potting medium that dries completely before you water again. Strong filtered light, like Cattleyas, but not full sun.
