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.

[DirtyCoconuts]

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....

[Afid]

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

[DirtyCoconuts]

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.

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

[DirtyCoconuts]

I know. I’m basically just testing him lol
