ID confirmation, is it Dendrobium chrysotoxum
 After the great help with one of my neighbour Brians orchid ID's , I am asking again . But this time I think I know what it is .. BUT I am no expert 
He has several plants of this spread around the garden . Some in full sun , nestled in a large Drynaria fern , and some tied to a Citrus tree . I see some nice little keikis that will be ready for me when the wet season starts .

Long canes that get thinner at the top? If yes, looks like Dend. fimbriatum type for me. Take a look at Dendrobium fimbriatum var. oculatum for comparison, just don't take into account the dark stain of this variety.

It looks like the blooms of Den. chrysotoxum which has fusiform pseudobulbs with 5-6 leaves on them.

Stems are long and thin , with narrow dark green leaves.
So maybe Mauro has pointed me in the right direction by suggesting Den fimbruiatum.. thank you .

When I saw the flowers, I said it sure looks like chrysotoxum to me but after your description of the canes and leaves, they do not fit chrysotoxum that has about 8 to 12 in. thick, stout looking canes with broad thick leaves of about 6 in.
