This is Dendrobium unicum, a delightful plant with thin, longish canes (up to about 8") and these fascinating flowers. The lip is tubular, cream with burgundy veins. The petals and sepals are reflexed and a vibrant orange. What makes this little guy even cooler is the scent. It smells sort of peachy-apricotty, which just seems to fit perfectly with the color combination.
I'll have to attempt to get better pictures, if it's still blooming, outside when it quits raining.

It is so beautiful. I'm sorry you got sick and couldn't care for your flowers.
Smiles, Karen
