Orchids collected from jungle when it was Legal

[hcastil3]

Hi my name is Hector, I recently started collecting orchids. The other day I met a gentleman who owned an orchid store and had over 3000 orchids at one point.. He is going out of the country for a year and has no one to take care of his collection so he decided to see them... he sold many orchids for 10 dollars or less. ... there are 2 of them that came from the jungles of Peru, and Mexico( He collected them himself when it was legal back in the 70's)

However I can't find very much info on one...


the tag says something like.. Rodrigezia batemani "Speciosa" this was from the jungles of Peru... it ahs a number 587

He also sold me another collected one called Enc. Alatum Majus from Nicaragua.,


and another from the jungles of Australia which is a Dendrobium Kingianum



I was also given many other ones like an And. Africana

an Paph. that won an award form the AOS.

and a bunch of miniature ones. for 100 dollars...


He gave me a Free Hydrofogger humidifier, and a Flasking hood, and all the Flasking supplies for free...


Any Help will do with set ups for raising these orchis.. or even Identifying the one from Peru the "speciosa"..

Like I said, I'm new so give me a break.. ahha

I have a lot of experience with other plants but not much with orchids


only the SLC Wendy Redstone orchid is on bloom all the rest are not. but getting ready.
