Probably striata but I also have ochracea as well growing in the same area so it would be one or the other. For whatever reason, these orchids do not seem to seed around too vigorously like the native species can. I have even gone so far as to actually purposefully sow the seeds from the pods onto some promising areas with very modest germination rates(read: one or two plants, if I am lucky). Fortunately these orchids divide easily as a means of propagation.
