Field Orchid ???

[Cabana Boy]

Aloha!

I recently purchased a "Field Orchid", from a local nursery which I have planted along side our entry way into our home. It appears to be a prolific bloomer with a very tall multiple spikes.

At the same time, as a semi-professional, fine-art photographer, I'm slowly documenting the twenty or so orhids that I have as they bloom - most of which I'm not exactly sure of what I have. So I expect I'll be asking for more help from this forum along the way.

With this in mind, I've posted a link below which will take you to a larger image of my "field orchid". Any input on what this specific plant might be would be appreciated.

And if you have the time, feel free to check out my website.

Mahalo!

Beautiful, I'm glad to know the id also, as I will look into requirements and maybe add to the list.

They're terrestrials or lithophytic (the roots are in between the crevices of rocks). They grow near water, so they like it evenly moist (don't keep the potting media soggy though).

Shade.

Since you're in Hawaii, I don't think humidity will be an issue.

They're pretty large plants. Can get to be about 2 to 3 ft tall.
