Good guess, its the yellow flower version.
Very nice Pleurothallis sp. Whimgrinder, if you ever end up with enough to trade let me know. Or if you figure out the rest of its identity.
I'm sure I could get a division off the plant without too much trouble. Its in full tilt bloom right now, so I would wait a couple of weeks to take a piece off it. It has about 20 spikes, with approx 15 blooms on each! As to its identity, I quit researching it a couple of years ago, when nobody could suggest an ID. Many said "It looks a lot like so-and-so, but it isn't" and that's as far as things went.
I have a few Trichosalpinx chamelephanthes types and if I was to only keep one it would be the one labeled as following. The leaves just look so much nicer on this one.

Here is the one from the branch starting to open up, I believe it was mislabeled as its clearly not what its supposed to be.

Awesome drac, Paul!
Jon, I would have to say that to me, at least, the fragrance is reminiscent of clover honey. Definitely not cloyingly sweet or overpoweringly strong. Pretty much have to have my nose within a few inches of the flowers to catch their scent.
beautiful miniatures DragonsEye! what does the dendrobium smell like? i might have to get that one.

Few bloomers at the moment:
Do wish it wasn't so difficult to capture many of the reds and purples accurately with digital cameras. Never had that problem with film. Color should be much darker and richer -- none of the magenta garbage. (The font color I'm using is actually a bit closer.) If only you could see the actual color. *sigh*
This one starts off green then 'ripens' to yellow.
Lightly fragrant
I must admit I often forget about this mini. It's literally always in bloom (or darn close to it) so really have reached the point of rarely noticing. It has about filled up the 3inch pot its in -- and it has only taken around 5yrs or so to do it from the 0.5 inch plug I started with.
(For those of you who have yet to venture into the micro minis, this is why they cost at least as much if not more than that blooming sized catt or cym. )
The flower is roughly 5-6mm long from front to back. Entire plant stands about 1.5 - 2 inches (4-5cm) high.
