Ohh, these are tough! I'm pretty sure that #4 is a Dendrobium polytrichum or at least a close relative of it. #5 is much, much harder... its a Phalaenopsis hybrid of some kind it almost certainly has Phal. Dragon Tree Eagle somewhere in it's background, and probably some Phal. stuartiana as well...

I’m gonna stay mum for a while for more players to chime in

I'm going to guess Calanthe, not a clue which one. OK... missed that one while others were posted... (That was my guess on #3 but was wrong) Spathaglottis is sort of close.

Okay, no surprise that Afid, our resident encyclopedia, nailed #4 on the nose!!!

#5 is a bit of a trick but you are in the right neighborhood, basically on the right street...I'll keep it at that just in case anyone else wants to play....

#5 is tricky, I'm still puzzling over it, its good practice trying to pick out hybrid lineage :D.

I’ll post the answer in hidden ink so you can see it when you are ready to give up lol

Well, it's really nice of you to entertain Afid, DC. :rofl:

As I'm sure you know, WaterWitchin ain't playing this game! Oooohhhh, pretty plant... what is it again? :biggrin:

I know. I’m basically just testing him lol
