????rhyncostylis gigantea or retusa
This is supposed to be a long inflorescene..but mine only 2-3 flowers. Found this in a thrown away pile of orchids, took it home n tied on a brance...surprisingly, it flowered.
Looks like " fox-tail". Or maybe other species.maybe next year with more flowers, i can identify better
After much research, finally identified it..thisbis Vandopsis gigantea. Flowering period Feb...and flower seems to last more than 1 mth.lets hope next year will see more

Dendrobium palpebrae - "eyelash" dendrobium
1st time flowered for me. Hanging bunch of 1 dozen pretty orchids. Some reported an apple fragrance ...err couldnt smell any for mine
Woke up one morning...and wow....
Its call palpebrae as if you look closer, at the lips, there are " eye lashes" which was thought to " massage" the bees during pollination
My only grumble with this species is the flowers are very short live...gone im 3-4 days..haiz
