    Default Who can identify this WILD Orchid?

    This wild orchid in bloom now (length about 2.5") is readily found in Southern Thailand growing on rubber trees.
    Can someone identify it please? Thanks.

    Better wait for more responses before you conclude I might just be wrong.

    That is a nice bulbo. There are many bulbos like this that looks very similar to the untrained eyes. Congrats for the ID.
