Yes, it's Scaphyglottis fasciculata
Bought it 2019, flowering now for the first time.
No idea what variety it is.
Each flower is open only 1 or 2 nights.
There were seven flowers in total.

Singapore Cloud Forest. Not sure what plant it is, but I guess from the Araliaceae.
Chysis laevis Lindl.
OC = Own Collection
This orchid opened three flowers, which were open only a few days. I suspect that they self-pollinated somehow, but I'm not sure. (They now have "thick" fruit-like parts.) I couldn't detect any smell.
Chysis is in subtribe Bletiinae according to Wikipedia, and in subtribe Chysinae according to Genera Orchidacearum Vol. 4. I couldn't find how the RHS classifies it. In any case, the genus is in tribe Epidendreae, which also includes subtribe Laeliinae.

I bought this in January 2023.
Myrmecocattleya Luster = Cattleya forbesii × Myrmecophila thomsoniana
Both species are in the subtribe Laeliinae.
I believe I smelled a very faint perfume, but I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks! It's a pet peeve of mine when people use an abbreviated genus name without having written the full genus name first.
And the best part is, they're in subtribe Laeliinae
It tasted good, but I don't think I would have been able to distinguish the taste from a "golden" kiwi
It tasted pretty much like a yellow kiwifruit, nice and sweet and better to me than the green ones. I was disappointed however that it was still mostly green inside.
I guess that (1) there are enough other roots in the ground, and (2) the root in the air may be able to extract humidity the air, and also water directly when it rains. Not sure what species this is but in some trees roots also have the function to help with stability, like extra stems.
Very slightly
The correct name seems to be Dendrobium Singapore Changi Airport though
Thanks for the ID ; I had no idea
Yep, the flower stalk supports everything by itself. It's a terrestrial species, so the flower stalk grows upwards by nature.
It's terrestrial, and it is a species rather than a grex.
The view is nice, but I think if I lived there I'd go once and then not again because it's expensive
