Sophronitis cernua
 
These two plants are growing (for 8 years) at the top of my cool/intermediate tank, close to the lights (two aquarium blue and red lights and one T5). They are sprayed with RO water almost daily and dry in between. This year it has the most blooms it has ever given ... Sweet!

Great growing on the C. cernua, but there's a lot more going on in that micro-jungle. Could you identify some of the other plants, especially the little yellow flowers and braided-chain-appearing plant below the cernua on the left?

So pretty. What a nice bunch of plants in there.

Thanks all... There are about 50 assorted pleurothallic alliance species, 15 mini dendrobiums, and other assorted stowaways. The two plants are Dendrobium torresae (turns purple in bright light) and Sigmastylix graminea (mini oncidium type yellow flowers).

Do these sometimes have a double leaf? Mine seems to be having something come out of the center and it looks like a leaf. I wish I had gotten a picture of it.

Usually single if the are mature. If a second smaller 'leaf' appears it might be a sheath for flowers.

I would really like to think it is but it doesn't look like a sheath it looks like a leaf. But I have never seen how one looks on this orchid before. I'll keep my fingers crossed and perhaps get a picture.
