Default ID please saw many different names

I got those orchids, from an Asian woman in a nail shop ! She told me it was called golden Taiwanese, I also saw on the net golden puff and i also found this
Cycnodes Taiwan Gold 'Orchis' C20081206 155 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Mine looks like the one on the link but no leaves, and a lot smaller. I know the other one is a Phalenopsis but don't know any further.

It would really be appreciated if someone could help me to identify those, especially for the yellow one because I don't know how to take care of it.. how much light/sun, watering, does it need a rest in winter ...

Thank you

Hello Yzabel,

You will not be able to have a precise ID for your plants, unless you get it from the nursery selling the plants. This is especially true for complex hybrids (like the case of the Phalaenopsis) because there is a lot of variation in the progeny and there (very often) several hybrids that look more or less similar.

Primary Hybrids can be a different story (or some very very particular Complex clones), as the variabilitiy is lower, but still quite high to make it very difficult.

As per your Cycnodes, don't be afraid that your plant is blooming without leave. This is typical for Catasetinae (the group of orchids where Cycnoches and Mormodes - both parent of Cycnodes - are). The plant in your link is actually the exception! As per the ID, same as mentionned above, it will not possible to provide a correct ID. There are sevral cycnodes that look very similar: Taiwan Gold, Jumbo Puff, Wine Delight (yellow form), and many others. Even experts in Catasetinae would have difficulties here! The reason is that the parents used for these plants are very similar, and therefore the progeny is also very similar. In the following link you can have a nice comparison between Taiwan Gold and Jumbo Puff: Catasetinae: TWO CLOSELY-RELATED CYCNODES
