Little miniature
This little orchid is one of my mom's she has it growing in a citrus tree but has no idea what it is. Here's the first bloom we've seen
You can barely see the light pink in the middle in these pictures |

It is beautiful! I bet somebody here knows what it is. I'm guessing it's a Dendrobium from the look of the pseudobulbs and flowers.
I've never seen it... but how about Dendrobium aberrans? It looks a lot like the photo on Andy's Orchids' Web site.

Looks like a white flowered form of Dimerandra, more often seen in pink/lavender. You should get a succession of flowers from the spike, each lasting just a few days. Several species are recognized but they are so similar I wouldn't even guess which this might be. Yes, the canes of Dimerandra do strongly resemble some Dendrobiums, but it is an Epidendrum relative.

At first I thought it was too but she also told me earlier today that it's South American?
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think Dendrobium are native to the Americas though I could be wrong. |

Dendrobiums do not occur in the Americas. Dimerandra occurs from Mexico to Brazil. |

The way to tell between a Laeliinae and Dendrobiinae is, from what I understand, most Dendrobiinae have spurs on their flowers.
