That's cool. The bud look like little embryos.
Do you get to name it?

Little embryos? Is it fragrant? Nice plant.

What Dot asked - is this a new species or a lost tag?

 

[paphjoint]

No I got this last year from vietnam - labeled as odoratum but I don't think so

There are a few aerides from vietnam that are labeled as odoratum but seem to be something different. There is another one that has an erect inflorescence rather than pendent like this one. Determining what it is should be done by taxonomists, perhaps Eric Christiensen who specializes in this genus.
