Grand Chupacabra
I am 99.999% sure this name is incorrect, due to the parent species being reclassified. That being said....
It's a fairly compact oncidium alliance plant with very large, brightly colored flowers, so I love it. The fragrance is strong. It reminds me of very high quality extra virgin olive oil. I know that sounds weird, but it's wonderful.
It's been in bloom for at least a month now, but I've just now gotten my lazy butt to take some photos now that some of the blooms are starting to fade.
What I like most about this plant, aside from the wonderful fragrance, is that this looks like a "classic" oncidium, except the petals are of a proportionally large size instead of reduced vestiges like so many oncidiums. It almost reminds of a rossioglossum cross.
