Looks like Den. loddigesii to me. I have one myself two and it has two
buds at the moment. Can't wait to see it flowering.

I got this den about 6-7 years ago in a collection dispersal I split
with two friends. There were several of these so we each took at least
one, mine only two pbs with a couple of leaves between them and even
fewer roots (the collection had been neglected for some time - it was
February here in Ohio and there were still some forlorn looking orchids
hanging outside on a fence frozen in the snow). I'm not much of a den
person, but it's tiny size interested me. That winter, in rented GH
space, one of the others' plants had a short-lived, but pretty flower.
Mine struggled for years as I tried to figure out what to do with it (I
have to admit it wasn't a big priority). Now it's made a comeback and
finally surprised me by blooming. I like it and have decided it's a
keeper. But I'd kinda like to know it's name. I'm pretty certain it's a
species, but which? There are too many to go wading through so I was
hoping someone would recognize it.

Specs: flower 1.125" across, leaves 1.25 long, in a 3" clay pot
