Thecostele Alata

Three stalks of flowers :) Thanks to Moggie for ID'ing the orchid.
The first one that started (longest hanging below) seems to be still going strong.
The blurry stalk is the latest to start blooming just a week back.



This is what the tip of the stalk looks like... It just keeps going and going and going ... like the energizer bunny.



The flowers up close.

I love it! Is this growing in your garden? Is it wild?
