Inflorescence of an epiphyte orchid -  Dendrobium crumenatum. This is very common species. When I was a young boy, I used to collect this species & plant it on the tree in my mom's garden. When my mom found out, she scolded me & told me this orchid is a parasite which may "kill" the host tree. When I grew up, I found out that is not true.
