Seidenfadenia mitrata -OR- hey, where'd everybody go?

[DirtyCoconuts]

i always find it funny when there is an orchid with only one species in the genus...this one is such an alien that it kind of makes sense that he's all by himself.

I got this guy well established two-three years ago and it had lovely flowers on it....they all dropped as i moved it and it did not like the accomodations i first put it in and a year went by with no flowers or appreciable growth.

Undeterred i moved it and low and behold, four spikes!

here he is a few weeks back
