Ceratochilus biglandulosus
OK, now it's Trichoglottis biglandulosa... Either way, the flower is bigger than the plant, the name is bigger than both. The flower is about 3 cm (a bit over 1 inch), the leaves less than half that. It's from Java, elevation 1000-2000 m. I grew one plant outside (winter night temps down to 4 deg C/40 deg F or occasionally lower) and one in the greenhouse (lowest temps around 15 deg C/60 deg F) The one in the GH grew a little more (the plant is a really slow grower) but the one outside bloomed. Both are now outside, doing fine. A new basal growth now has a bud - it can bloom while REALLY small. Daily watering, shade. Flowers look fragile, but can last 4 weeks or more, it can bloom several times during the year.
