Dyakia Hendersoniana x sib.
To give you an idea of size, this miniature species from Borneo is growing in a 2 1/2" bonsai pot. This is the first time it has bloomed and the flowers, although very delicate looking, are very long lasting. Pink is not one of my favorite colors in orchids but I find this little one very interesting.

Always loved this guy. Always had a hard time growing them too for some reason. Not sure why. 
Nice plant, btw, it's very cute. |

What a cutie. Personally I love pink in flowers, but then I'm a fan of most colours when it's Orchids  |

It used to be classified as a Ascocentrum so you grow it like an Ascocentrum but with bright shade. |

Thats great! I have mine mounted in my vivarium, close to the light, 2 x 65 watt, with a mix of 6700K and 10000K. I don't know how many foot candles. I keep it humid, and it seems to be sulking. I hope mine snaps out of it.

Tindomuhl, I grow my plant in sphagnum but let it approach dryness before watering. If you are keeping your plant evenly moist, you might try letting it dry a little. Might help with the vigor.
