Cool! What are their names?

I have no idea what their names are. It says that they are very rare orchids which was found somewhere in Africa or something like that and seems to be nearly extinted since the rich collectors are hunting them.

Fantastic! Are these in your collection?

I wished! I only have very regular orchids and trying to meet friends who grow orchids as well to be able to exchange some. Do you guys do that too?

Hi,

the first looks like a Mediocalcar, the last is a Cirrhopetalum.

Really cool!

I've given orchids away on occasion (like when my Encyclia tampensis gets divided) but never traded.

Yes we trade! when we can.

It must be easier for you guys to trade since you are in same country. It is very strict in Sweden about trading plants oversea. So, I get whatever is available here. I don't use to see any exotic orchids here.

I'm not a fan of dividing, I love growing big healthy specimen plants.
