I think 7, 8 and 9 are definately the Phalaenanthe or Spatulata types because of the remains of spikes that I can see. 1-6 probably are as well but I'm not so certain.
I grow the Phal types without much of a rest at all. I do reduce watering, but only in so much as they dry slower in the winter so I water less. If they dry I water, just like in the summer.
Mine seem to be triggered to flower with light and I've had no trouble flowering them without a rest.
