New Volunteer ID?

[Clawhammer]

I get a lot of volunteers in my warm humid basement greenhouse environment, mostly mosses and ferns, but a few orchids too. This one is pretty interesting... It has a really nice citrus candy fragrance (a lot like phal bellina).

I found this growing in my mounted orchid area a little over a year ago and picked it, thinking it was a normal weed. I could tell from the succulent roots, however, that it was an orchid, so I planted it in the pot with my aerides odorata. That growth grew for a while and died back, then a new growth grew. It is now blooming

Any idea what it is?

I did a reverse image search and was given Zeuxine stateumatica as the match.
Common names are lawn orchid or soldier orchid, a terrestrial orchid.

Nailed it! Thanks for the help Probably overtakes the random begonia that sprouted in my drainage tray as the coolest volunteer so far

You're welcome.
Amazing it started in your mounted area comsidering its a terrestrial, it was certainly pushimg its boundaries!
