First one looks like Cattleya, second one is a Phalaenopsis. Both are very pretty and you took good care of them.

Welcome to Orchid Board

I agree, one looks to be a Cattleya and the other is a Phalaenopsis. You are unlikely to get a closer ID than that, as there are many in the mass market which can look similar.

The cattleya reminds me of Blc. Picotee Passion that I've seen on here. It may or may not be this particular cross since hybridization makes it all but impossible to identify NoID plants.

Greetings

Thank you for identifying my orchids. I do enjoy the challenge of encouraging them to flower. The payoff makes it all worth it. Again, thank you
