Default dendrobium polysema var. pallida

I bought this several years ago, it languished indoors for a couple of years, finally put it on the patio last spring until November. It grew much more robustly but by November I knew I had to bring it in to avoid the cool wet winters here. I had had no success flowering it and was resigning myself to pitching it into the compost heap but then suddenly noticed a flower spike forming in December. And now, for the past week it has been blooming. Small flowers, not very fragrant but very interesting.
