Love it. They look so cute. What does the plant look like?

Thanks Lars. The drop in temps. it gets right now. Seen that I live in a cold part of Canada, the winter conditions shouldn't be hard to achieve.

Vandagirl, it looks like most Aerangis. You can see a picture here: http://www.orchidspecies.com/orphotd...ystacidiae.jpg

I have one of these - it is mounted, grows very slowly - like one new leaf every 6 months or so, and it has never bloomed......because it is mounted I tend to water it daily or every other day ....is there a trick to getting it to bloom ?

I think the issue in your case is lack of humidity. Mine tends to get 3 leaves a year and lots of new root growth every year. The plants love being in a misty environment, which the hydrofogger provides. Culture notes say that the plants want humitdy of 85% most of the year.
