Macodes petola also does very well. It has not bloomed for me yet, but keeps on growing.

Much as I suspected Ludicia is Haemaria(I had misspelt it in my previous mail) is from Malysia like many other jewel orchids from south and south-east Asia. Most of them are grown entirely for their beautiful foliage rather for their somewhat dull flowers. Please refer to Hortica page 89 to get the identity confusion.
