If it is small and in clusters it may be a Dendrobium. they bloom in little cluster on one stalk. they are supposed to have little fragrance, but hard to detect if you dont know it.
here is the Dendrobium kingianum which I think may be what you have, but you would know best since you have seen the bloom already. The problem I have with the ID in your picture is that the leaves are more broad and rounded than a Dendrobium but hopefully Bill can correct me on this one since he is the orchid Guru.

far from a guru, but thanks Ariel...lol the problem with orchid id's are that there are almost 5000 or so species described. i think that is the last number i saw. with about 1800 in madagascar alone. it does look like a mini dendrobium to me, but it could be a couple others as well. it is so much easier to id them when they are in bloom.

Tammy, that is an excellent site, but they only list the common ones. i noticed aerangis is missing along with a few others from SE Africa/Madagascar area
