    I have this one as well (I posted it in this forum) and it's also labeled Oncidium ornitorhynchum, but I've been doing some research on the Internet and the ornitorhynchum appeals to a yellow flowered species. According to the literature I've read, this pink species is an Oncidium sotoanum.

    The first question I would need to research lol however, they have a moderate scent in terms of strength, but not overpowering. Very pleasant.

    You are the second individual to make this point and i'll have to look into this for myself. I don't like when things are mislabeled! The plant is still pretty wonderful regardless. :-)
