4 New Orchids... 'Cambria'..? - Orchid Board

Hi All,
Anyone know what these orchids are..? They just have a label in each that says 'Cambria'.

Really pretty plants! I hate it when the labels only say Cambria! That isn't even a name of anything, and if they go through the trouble of putting labels , they might as well put the right name!

I'm almost certain that the first one is Beallara Tahoma Glacier. I think it's the only one that looks like that. For the others, I know that I used to know the name of something similar to the 3rd pic, but I can't seem to remember right now...

You star Camille; that does look 'Beallara Tahoma Glacier'.
I'm not hugely bothered what they are, I love them already... but it's always nice to know.

I remember the orchid the 3rd pic reminds me of: Odontonia 'Boussole Blanche'. It was at the tip of my tongue!

All of them are oncidium intergenerics, so care will be the same. It is nice to get a name on them though.

Think I found another - Wilsonara Marie Elle 'Heavenly'.

And perhaps... Wilsonara Zoe's Fire.

Those look like pretty good matches. When I label plants that I think I identified but am not certain of, I always leave the word NOID somewhere on the label. That way I remember that it's not it's official name!

Good point Camille.

Thanks for getting me started looking though, I'd got absolutely no clue.
