It looks like a terete Vanda or Vanda teres. Here are some examples http://www.tropicalexotica.com/trete2.htm It has pencil shaped leaves, likes year around moisture and lots of light. I've seen these grown in groups on chicken wire totems stuffed with sphagnum.

Thank you. It could be one of the hybrid of semi terete leaves.
I had thought of vanda teres (Papilionanthe teres) but that has cylindrical leaves ... well like a pencil, the unknown is semi terete leaves.

Yes, it could. They can get rather tall and sprawling while producing keikis off the main stem. Have you had it long? I know there are many markets in Mexico that sell unnamed orchids.

I must have been thinking of you and your location last night when I decided to make a fresh batch of tortillas! :)
