Dockrillia teretifolia

Natali, the plant on the left, do you think it's an Dockrillia? Looks for me like an Epidendrum hybrid, which never bloom. Also in my greeenhouse

Mieczyslaw,
thank you for your response!
if you speak about the first picture, the answer is yes, this is Den. teretifolium (Dockrillia teretifolia). The plant is in the center of the picture. Brassavola fragrans is on its right. I will try to take a better picture of my plant tomorrow.

Thank you Keith!

My plant is going to bloom again!! Two more spikes are appearing, so I suppose the plant is quite happy with my growing conditions.
I grow my orchids outside 24\7, so they receive plenty of air movement... we have very strong winds here all year around.I grow my plants in partial shade for we have very strong sun here.
I really do love orchids of your region and PNG (especially Bulbophyllums). Thank you for your willingness to help. I'll be glad to ask you some questions, now and later. Could you tell me how long the flowers last? It is only 3-5 days here. I wonder if it is common for the species, or it is just my plant\my condition. for we have here very strong sun.
Thanks again!

Hi Natali, yes the blooms last 5 to8 days don't expose to strong light or sun will help to maintain blooms
