Bromheadia aporoides

This orchid has a plant structure that is very similar to some species of Dendrobiums.  But the flower is distinctively different and very unique to the Bromheadia family.  The white flowers open in the morning and by afternoon it will close and wither.  Its lifespan is even shorter than Dendrobium crumenatum.  But the flowers are beautiful and has a slight fragrance.  I always miss the flowering for some reason but luckily this morning i spotted the flowers and quickly took a few shots.
