Dendrobiums and is it a Bulbo? BBG. love them!

[slipperfreak]

The pink Dendrobium looks like D. sulawesiense (syn. glomeratum). I don't think the other NOID has the right kind of lip to be a Masdevallia. The petals would also be much reduced in size (with larger, fused sepals) if it were a Masdie. But it can't be a Bulbo if it doesn't have pseudobulbs, either. I feel like I've seen it before, though.

It looks like it but I'm not so sure. The glomeratum blooms on short stems. These seem to be really long.

But maybe they are on steroids...

I'm still looking through my books. I love the detective work...it's so much fun.
