This has very recently been recorded from Saudi. This should be Zeuxine strateumatica. You are a proud owner of this orchid as it is supposed to be of very rare occurrence in your area. These are found in moist, open grasslands. Please can you send me a pic of front view of flower? I can see anything yellow on it. Regards Pankaj
