Liparis Reflexa
I'm really excited about this one. I've no idea where I got this, I put it in a hanging pot and hung it in the tree next to my patio and forgot it! lol 
I know you all like to see the orchid in bud before the blooms come out so I took it down to take pics. Then I noticed a little growth down on the right hand side. I take it that it is a new bulb because the spikes seem to come from the middle of the bulbs not the base? 
I will put more pics on as it starts to open and is fully open, keep you up to date on that new growth too.

I did Fren, up until recently I didn't take care of my plants (orchids included) I had no idea what I had or didn't have. This was a nice surprise.
Now I'm well aquainted with all my orchids..........so many with lost labels.........I'm going to post so many pics asking for help in identifying them when/if they flower.
I have learnt a lot from this board in the few weeks I've been coming here and I love it!

I agree it's a new growth! Almost better than a spike in my opinion - tells me it's doing well.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

It's still chugging along, we had a storm the other night and when I went out the next morning I thought the flower spike was gone! Nah! It was just hiding behind a leaf! Phew! Marion

What a tough little Orchid. Don't forget to post pics once it blooms!
