Hi Sweedle, Fair enough. Have the book "Wild Orchids of the Northern Western Ghats" by Dr.Satish Pande et al. It looked more like the Greenish Rib-leaf Orchid [N.aragoana] than the Pin Rib-leaf Orchid [N.plicata] or the Maroon Rib-leaf Orchid [N.infundibulifolia] to me. Will have to wait till it throws a new leaf after it finishes flowering to be absolutely sure. Regards, Neil.

Forgot to mention - have 2 bulbs ready to plant collected for me by Pravin Kawale, but this one was not of that stock.

I get weeds like vinca or portulaca at the bases of my houseplants I bring in from the nurseries, .... you get orchid... that's luck... ha ha... I have no idea what 's the name of the orchid... but its a beauty... but orchid that sprouted its spore in the (rich ) soil must be very eager to regenerate ...least its family line disappears... so now you have a great job ahead.... love this.
