Yes, it is Trichocentrum Hi-Ace. But I usually see it in "Brazil", Ro Leoni has one, for example. Pretty nice.

Comes from tropical dry forests, in Ecuador and Peru and elsewhere.
Loves hot and humid places, 18-28 ºC, around the year. Somewhat drier in winter and early spring. Likes to be frequently watered when growing, but drainage must be excellent (better to mount). The light doesn't need to be as strong as one may think by the leaves.
Minute pseudobulbous, fragrant blossoms and a short spur on the base of the column (see third photo)
The spur is characteristic of this genus.
Sorry if it is a big post ( 4 photos), but I do love this one!

 I have the same one for 5 years but it is smaller then yours.Do you remember when did it bloom for you for the first time?You said drier in the winter but could you tell me how often do you water in winter and spring?  Thanks a lot.Congratulation on a beauty  |

I love the green and maroon top petals! (sorry I'm not versed in chid anatomy)
I think I've seen them in some other Oncidiums, are they typical to a certain kind? (variation?)

So it is small, but due to its vegetative habit it fills more space. A 20 by 20 cm is a good estimate for entire plant (without the flower)
Are you planning to get one?  |
I have got a small one today and I hope I will have many flowers , they are very beauty. |
