This looks like Flickingeria fugax to me. Now they call it Dendrobium fugax. This plant flowers once a year in normal condition and one flower opens just for few hour.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Initially I was of the same opinion but I find images slight different in the web and books than my images.
