Ophidion pluerothallopsis
This is great little plant that is always in bloom. There was a short period of about a month when there were no flowers, but otherwise, its a performer. I love the closed nature of the flowers, like there is a mystery inside. One day I will overcome my reluctance to the destroy and dissect one of these while they are still in flower. The plant produces multiple blooms per rachis in sequence, so there is no need to be sad when the flower dies. As you can see from the picture of the plant, it produces multiple flowers at once putting on a nice little show.

Thanks all. The leaves are are about 4" long. The spikes slightly longer. I love it for it's pendant growth and long lasting and frequent blooming. I grow this at 65-75 degrees, every day all year long. I have never tried it at warmer temps. Actually, it may get slightly warmer (78-79) high temps in the winter due to radiators and direct sunlight.
