Is the second one fragrant? (usually around midday and on blooms older than a week) Because it sure looks like Burrageara Nelly Isler. I don't know of any other orchids that look like it. It's my favorite oncidium intergeneric!

Hi camille1585 Thanks for the reply They are both very fragrant but not all the time and not at night time the second one flowers are older than a week. Do the flowers last a long time?

It depends, on mine the blooms last anywhere bewteen 6 and 8 weeks. It's a shame that it's only fragrant in the middle of the day, I only get to enjoy the smell on weekends! I'm trying to find some possible names for the other one, I'm going through all the intergeneric crosses.

Hi Would the other orchid be a Degamoara Flying High Stars and Bars

That's what I was thinking also, the picture on EasyOrchids looks a lot like it. Did your orchids come with any tags? If they did, and there's the name and/or website of a grower/company, you could try looking it up. Sometimes they have their catalogs online, with the names of the orchids! I identified quite a few of my Noids that way.

I think the first one is a brassidium of some sort.
