BBG is free from Tues to Fri till March 2nd. also they have some great Phaius

I couldn't see any behind glass, it was all fogged up. But they did have a little area with a bunch of paphs and such, it was nice to get a close-up look at them. |

Sarah, #3 looks like a Catasetum to me, possibly sanguineum? #5 reminds me of a Dockrillia...
--Nat
Edit: after looking at some more of your pictures on Flickr, I'm 99% confident that #3 is a Catasetum, though I'm unsure about the exact species or hybrid. Still not sure about #5, do you remember what the plant/foliage looked like? Nice photos, btw!

Nat, Here are additional photos of #3 and #5, if that helps at all. #3 looked like a hummingbird from the side - really cool!
And thanks for the compliment on my photos!

And thanks for the compliment on my photos!

Yes, the Wisteria arches are gorgeous! Did you see the lilac collection? It smells AMAZING in that area. |

I believe that #1 & #7 are both Vanda densoniana and #5 is Myrmecophila wendlandii.

Wow, thanks. I'm a total orchid newbie, I'm impressed by how everyone is able to identify these. I've never seen or heard of most of them! |
