The plants I know as "jewel orchids" are the Ludisiae - they have to be related to yours, as the flowers you describe seem similar. Any insights?

The short one just pointed out that one of our ground orchids [Anoectochilus species], AKA jewel orchid, is sending up bloom spikes. It's in the front patio but back under the eaves of the house, somewhat protected from both summer sun and winter chill. I really like this orchid; it has dark reddish-purple leaves and tiny white flowers.
Weather her today is cool [in the 50s] and windy; forecast is for rain.
