Asctm. ampullaceum
This miniature vanda type is reminiscent of Hyacinths and a cousin to Asctm. miniatum. It is a reliable spring bloomer.
The second picture is a bonus plant, Sophronitis cernu, that was received from Marble Branch Farms with my last order. It is a true miniature and was a delight to receive. I intend to transfer it to a cork mount. The 3/4" red flowers are produced in clusters. They are not as showy as Sophronitis coccinea but coccinea does not survive the heat of Florida summers.

Sandy, I am glad you enjoy the pics.
And Camille, the plant is a miniature. It has about a six inch leaf span and it is about five inches tall and growth is fairly slow.

I love the Ascocentrum, Jerry. Fabulous! I wonder if that might do for a project plant??

Gorgeous, Jerry!! Such wonderful color. You'll be happy too with the Soph. I think it may be one of my all time faves.
