Another plant which I thought initially is Dendrobium aurantiflammeum which is native to Borneo very similar I like the deeper orange color on this flowers so cool.

Dendrobium species growing in situ very small flower such a very cute one.

The same species ex-situ just magnified with macro lens so cool especially the lip ID would be appreciated.

Dendrobium aurantiflammeum - reminds me of the (non-orchid) Montbretia which grows wild on the cliffs of south-west England . It is in the liliacea, and probably a garden escape originally, but the leaves seem the same as this,apart from the general impression of lots of smallish bright orange flowers, and the habit too. Amazing. Converging evolution perhaps !

Goodyera species that carried seed pots the leaves so shiny like marble.
