Wow, extraordinary photographs…. Real treat to eyes… Thanks … for sharing this beautiful find…

Yes Liparis viridiflora.

Nice insect pic too. Did you see them carrying pollinia?

Liparis are actually known to be pollinated by another insects called fungal gnats but not well studied. Someone should study.

…, for your kind information. Liparis looselii is pollinated by rain.

Thanks … I didnt see them carrying pollinia… I will check other frames to make sure.

Thanks for the information. Yes, as you mentioned, very few, countable by fingers, pollination studies have been conducted in Indian Orchids. Let us see what we can do on this.
