Habenaria lindleyana

This is a commonly found Habenaria in Thailand. I bought a plant with lots of seed pods last year and sowed the seeds around the base of my lemon grass. About five plants appeared a few weeks later but most of them died except this one. The leaves hug the ground closely and the flower spike rise up from the centre of the leaves. The flower spike is about a foot and a half long and bears many pure white flowers. If seed pods are borne this time i am going to spread the seeds all over the place.
