This one was at Orchid Trail and had no label. Best match is D. coccineum, but even that doesn't look very close.

Species from the Philippines, grown by Cindy Hill.
These four successive photos show the growth of this wonderful plant from 2010 to 2016. It got a CCM/AOS cultural award in 2012 but is now several times larger, thanks to Cindy's excellent care.
I love the way the flowers pop up from the flower stem as they sequentially open. From Sabah and Sarawak, Borneo.

Dendrochilum javieri – This miniature orchid is characterised by its stiff slender relatively upright leaves giving an interesting foliar effect. The leaves have considerable substance but the pseudobulb is virtually non-existent. The flowers are a lime green, approximately 4mm across and occur in June and July. The spikes hold many flowers and spear upwards at a slight angle well above the foliage giving a very attractive presentation.
