nice!
Reminds me of my Haemaria (http://www.plantoftheweek.org/week016.shtml), which is in bloom again, for the third time in maybe eight months, and I wish I had a clue what it's so happy about.
It lies about, almost like a vine across the ground, and sends up vertical stalks with as many as a few dozen little white flowers which are conventionally orchid-shaped (http://toptropicals.com/pics/garden/m1/Podarki2/haemaria_fl_go.jpg) if you look closely enough.
