What type of orchids are these?

[elmerbotha]

Hi,

These images are from our garden. They effectively came with the home we bought about 3 years ago. We're from South Africa and live in what is typically knows as 'Bushveld' are, hot an humid.

We have not tended to any of these orchids at all. Image 3c makes a small red little flower. unfortunately I don't have an image of the flower. The spots are hail damage. This specific one grows wild in our garden and it seems to be truly flourishing.

Image 1 has not yet flowered. All these orchids are in the region of 5-8 years old.

I would appreciate it if anyone could tell us what type of orchids these are. Also as for the one depicted in image 3c, any tips on seeing more of the flowers would be great.

Thank you.
