This orchid is known as fu-ran in Japanese where fu is for wind and ran, orchid. Neofinetia falcata, an orchid that is originated from Japan is also called fukiran - orchid of wealth and nobles - which is famous during Shogun era amongst the samurai warriors.
My sensei, however, is a very artistic person when comes to orchid. He simply added another type of orchid in the same pot and if we do not look carefully, it might miss us. On the lower part of the furan root, there is Bulbophyllum japanicum (Makino) or in Japanese, miyamamugi-ran or mountain wheat orchid. 
I surely would never noticed the small, red in colour flower if he do not come and asked me to look closely.
