Lpths. astrophora
OK, as unbelievable as this may seem, this is one plant! I got this from Ivan @ Komoda Orchids last year about this time. It was in a tiny little 1" maybe 1.5" clay pot in sphag moss. It grows with a Restrepia habit so you can cut a leaf and stick it back in the moss and it will take root!!! It also prefers (or at this this one does) to grow in cooler temps but will adapt to intermediate temps with strong air movement. This "little" guy is constantly in bud/bloom and hasn't been fertilized in over 8 months. I think if I had to choose a favorite, this is in the top 5!
Enjoy
