where is 'here'?
flower looks similar to dendrobium crumenatum ... if you blink, you miss the flowers. They only last a day or so.

I live in Taiwan.
we name Dendrobium crumenatum 'pigeon dendrobium'
It is a native orchid species in this island. Their flowers last only 1-2 days.
Here is an image from a Taiwanese forums. You may know why they get the local name.
