Please Help Identifying this Orchid

11 years ago

Dear friends, 7 years ago, while travelling in Myanmar, I was given these orchid bulbs as a gift. During that time the didn't do anything, just stayed green, then last year it started to root and produce leaves, and this year I was rewarded with this. !!! Could anyone tell me what kind of an orchid this is? Thank you for your expert help.

It might be a species orchid where the Genera name is Pholidota.

Thank you Arthurm2015, but can you tell me which? I have looked up several Pholidotas and none resemble the one that I have. I am sure that It can't be such a rare orchid since the seller just dumped a few bulbs in my hand as a gift!!. Thank you for all your help!!

Your pic. looks like buds that are about to open. One good place to look is Jay's orchid Species site where he says that there some 29 species to be found.

The RHS site lists some 40 Pholidota species and variations.

Not necessarily rare but not seen often away from specialist orchid species societies.
