You are lucky to have one. Orchid lovers would love to have one. The plant maybe is not beautiful but when it Blooms it's beautiful and fragrant too.

Just focusing on the flower, it looks like an orchid in the Cattleya family. Looks like it might have a bulb at the base of the leaves, which is typical of many orchids.
