Holcoglossum subulifolium
I recently bloomed the 4th Holcoglossum species of the season. Holcoglossum subulifolium comes from Vietnam, and like Holcoglossum wangii it opens all the flowers just about simultaneously.
In the first photo, the little white dot in the background is Holcoglossum flavescens. This plant spiked with 3 flowers in Dec/Jan, and then extended the spike to produce one more flower in February.
In the second photo I am holding flavescens with the flower in the same plane as the subulifolium, so you can compare the size directly.
