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.
