V. insignis x Ascda. Fuch Gold finally bloomed.
Per our friend, Jkelee's recommendation, I contacted Ms. Smiley at Smiley's Orchid and ordered it last November. The plant itself came with the spike, but none of them made to bloom.
It finally bloomed for me.  I have not experienced the smell yet. But, I am very happy about it.

Naoki, it's beautiful. And I agree with Philippe. You can definitely see the V. insignis parent's influence, especially in the shape and size of the lip. Hopefully it will also have inherited insignis's fragrance. Is the plant (like insignis) fairly small? I have two V. insignis plants, and they stay nice and compact. Congratulations on your flowers.

Thank you, guys!
I still cannot get the scent.  It might be because the scent from V. denisoniana is too overwhleming. 
Steve, as for the size of the plant, I would say, it is considered as "large."

Update
YEP! Very fragrant Now that all buds are opened, they started releasing very nice scent. Something (I am scientifically challenged ) in the natural light will make the scent stronger.
Steve, would this picture below give you a size of the plant?

beautiful plant but I'm confused. Is it insignis or denisoniana that's a parent? There are some similarities.
