If I recall, this was Ascocentrum pumilum.

My new update on this little guy: he is starting to grow an off-shoot down at the base! Main plant is still putting out new leaves, and the new growth is just two tiny little leaves right now.

Mine has two blooms open on one spike with the other 2 still developing. I really don't think it blooms as well in the heat of the summer. As soon as fall rolls around it will bloom out whole spikes instead of one or two flowers at a time.

I moved mine outside for the summer and it immediately put out three spikes!

That's great, Al! Mine bloomed last year or the year before, but has been in limbo ever since. Not even any growth. Oh well.

[quiltergal]

Mine bloomed really well throughout the winter (about 5 spikes total). It took about a month off and then threw out 2 more spikes which are now currently blooming.

Mine had been blooming away as well and decided to take a nice long break! It grew several new fans. I think it is about to start blooming again!
