We recently mentioned Dendrobium aurantiflammeum in this thread:
Dendrobium aurantiiflammeum
Note it is spelled with only one "I", though I have seen it offered for sale spelled with two "I"s.
It is related to the "pigeon" or "thunderstorm" orchid, Dendrobium crumenatum, in Dendrobium section Crumenata.
I received some Dens recently from Hausermann's. Shown are Den. aurantiflammeum and Den. auriculatum (section Dolichocentrum.) They are in 2" / 5cm diameter, but taller, pots. The wire fence in the photos has 4" openings.

The Den. aurantiflammeum had spider mites soon after arrival. I don't know whether it arrived with them or not. I have been spraying all my Dens with dish soap solution daily since.
