Question Help identifying

I bought this Oncidium back in April 2016 from Jaxma in Green Cove Springs, Fla. no tag. It had the most wonderful scent. Unfortunately, I didn't know the rules about fertilizing, and I murdered it (along with and unidentified Dendrobium and a couple Phals).

I want to buy it again. I believe it too be some kind of Oncidium, Wilsonara-"Pacific Passage" hybrid, but I can't find anything about them (Wilsonara) being fragrant at all.
Im just not sure, and I want to get it right when purchasing.

These are the only pictures I could find of it, and they aren't great. The smell is otherwordly, I want it back so bad.

With no tag, definite identification is iffy. Your best bet is to go back to your original vendor with your pictures and hope they can identify or sell you another one.

It passed away a little over a year ago. I didn't water before fertilizing.

It looks to me like an "Ondontocidium" - a hybrid with both Oncidium and Odontoglossum (the two genera are closely related, now may just all be called Oncidium) Because there are many hybrids that look similar (and variation within any given hybrid) it's a NOID. However, the specifics are not important in deciding how to care for it, since the care for all of the orchids in this group is pretty much the same. They need to be kept moist (but not soggy). Small bark is a good medium, since it holds moisture but drains well so that there are air spaces. It should do fine either indoors anywhere or outdoors in Florida or similar temperate cliimate (once it warms up a little, not so temperate right now) - down to 45 degrees F is fine. Dappled sunlight, bright but gentle light. It's beautiful.

Also,looking at that nice, big, husky plant... once it is done with blooming, repotting is a good idea. Once you see a new growth forming (which may even have already started) it's going to be making new roots, and that is the best time to pot. I like terracotta especially for big plants like this that tend to be top heavy. Pot should be just big enough for about 2 years' growth... overpotting can lead to too much moisture retention and root rot.

Thanx for the advice, as soon as I find another. I burned this guy to death in 2016 with fertilizer, and bad advice (I fertilize very lightly now). I have a few other Oncidium/hybrids that do amazing here in this crazy FLA. environment. 48f this morning, Mid to upper 70's by this afternoon.
