Pluerothallis palliolata, updated
Right now this little guy in is bud. I found it yesterday so I missed out on weeks if not months of stressful anticipation, Thank GOD!!! 
Anyway, here it is, first time it blooms for me since I got it in March 2008 in a trade with gmdiaz, using the market on Orchid Board.

As you can see in the picture, I provide artificial fog in a semi enclosed tank. The tank is located next to a window that stays open at varying degrees through the winter. So the temps have not gone above 19C since october until now. Mean day temp has been around 12-14C for most of the winter. It is in the last month that the mean temps have gone to around 17C. I believe that the fog is what produced these results as humidity was probably my limiting factor, and the slight increase in temperature.

Update
Wow, good news everyone, I found a second flower bud and it bloomed today. The first one bloomed on Saturday and seems to be clammed up today. Here are the pics.
