Schomburgkia albopurpurea
It is a shorter plant of this species.
This plant belongs to one of my friends and according to him, the species grown slow and it is somewhat difficult to gorw.

The second one is called yellow-banana orchid here.
The plant is yellowish and so do its blooms.
I do not know whether it is a species or not.

Yes! I like the wavy sepals and the color combos. Some can grow them like weeds and others like me have trouble. Don't know why. These are very nice.

Very fine. Both varieties are endemic to the Cayman Islands, where they are chosen the national flower.
I have one, but it is way to grow until I can exspect flowers.
