Wow, it's been so long since I was last on this forum that I'd forgotten how to upload photos!

Anyways, had this plant a couple of years now, last year it grew like crazy, developing around 6 new PBs, and just a couple of days ago we noticed 2 flower spikes --yay!

Any ideas what it might be? the PBs are very round and smooth, and the flower spikes emerge from the base of the PBs. Flowers are pretty small, about half a centimetre across. No discernable scent.

Sorry about the poor quality of the photos, by the way -- my phone camera sucks.

I'd like to know too!

Coelia triptera?

Could be Coelia triptera . It occurs in much of Mexico, as well as islands of the Caribbean, and into Central America. The developing inflorescence is, to me, almost as interesting and attractive as the flowers. If not this species, I think a Coelia at least.

I had Cloelia triptera too! There is a PDF guide called "Orchids of Mexico" online.
