    Most Polystachya species bloom with the flowers "upside-down" or non-resupinate. The plant I know as P campyloglossa is very fragrant and long lasting. It has 2 and occassionally 3 flowers per spike. Here is an image of my clone, close-up and the plant. The tape measure is in inches.

    Looks indeed like P campyloglossa to me. Normally it starts flowering rather erect, but then bends over. Here a few more flowers/stem, not exactly fair play though; grown in semi-in situ DSCN4417 p c.JPG
