Default Which oncidium is this?

The "bulbs" on this orchid make me think that it's an oncidium, but I have no idea what it is. I got it at a local nursery; they didn't know either. Could you help with the ID please? Thank you.

No Oncidium here.. Maxillaria (Maxillariella) tenuifolia.

Thank you so much. I have never heard of a maxilliara before. My first!

That one is on my list of "want to have someday." I see it has a few blooms. Are you detecting the coconut fragrance the Max. tenuifolia is famous for?

You have stumbled upon an interesting and diverse clan, somewhat allied to Lycaste and Zygopetalum. This is probably the most commonly grown species. The trick with Max ten is it demands frequent water but can't stay too wet.

The flowers are fragrant but I can't tell if they smell of "coconut". I don't know if they are supposed to smell like coconut milk or some other part of the coconut.

"Max Ten". Thank you for the nickname (it's much easier than to try to pronounce the full name), and thank you for the water tip.

Probably like what they use in suntan lotion, I suspect.
