Bulbophylum pardalotum
This plant comes from the Philippines. It is a cool growing, miniature plant that grows single pseudobulb with a single leaf, it will grow rhizome that is about an inch in length from which emerges another psuedobulb. The flower emerges from a long flower spike that produces a single flower. Once the flower opens, in the morning, it closes again every evening.
I had a plant on a mount but it slowly died after a year. But since then, I learned to grow this plant in this pot. Watering about every other day, under LED lights, 12 hours a day. It likes a lot of moving fresh air.
