Dyakia hendersoniana - endemic to Borneo. This was TomDE's orchid.

Nice-looks like you can collect a good amount of nectar to taste! What kind of light does it get?

 

[SlipperFan]

Very nice! I think mine is in spike now, but only one spike.

I've not seen this before. Could you please post a close-up of the flower?

I've never seen this particular Dyakia before. It's really
quite pretty and very showy.

I have this hanging very high next to my Vanda. But I have two shade clothes one permanent outside, and one inside that is retractable.

I will post closeup photos when flowers open up more.

This plant has been shared all over the internet and now I am in love with it!

BTW, it's monotypic. Maybe you're thinking of Dichaea.

photo update - more flowers opened.
There are two plants mounted on this small cork plaque.

Although this is supposed to be fragrant, I haven't been able to detect any.
