Multiple IDs

[Rhynno]

Hi everyone,

I have three plants that I would love some help with.

The first seems to be either a paph or phrag. Is there any way of telling without a bloom? I picked up the plant for $5 because it had no bloom haha. (I've since repotted it out of the sphagnum moss haha ).

Another one was tagged as an oncidium (a picture of the flower is attached) but I am not sure. Please let me know what you think.

I have another that I expect is an epidendrum/encyclia cross but I'll have to take some pictures tonight and post them.

Thanks very much for your help!

Cheers,

Ryan

Your Oncidium is probably an inter-generic hybrid with Odontoglossum in it. Perhaps someone can help with a more specific i.d.

Can't help with your Paph/Prag question - Probably someone else can tho

No way of telling even whether the Paph is a species or hybrid without the bloom.

Your 'oncidum' is definitely an intergeneric hybrid, probably with Oncidium, Odontoglossum and Miltonia all playing a part, maybe others. Thousands of similar appearing hybrids. Even if you think you see a perfect match don't be certain you have a positive ID.

The other is definitely a Paph, probably one of the large multifloral types. Without a flower that's as close as you're going to get.

Here are pictures of my other plant. I expect that it is an epidendrum - encyclia hybrid but I'm not sure. Please let me know what you think. I wish that I had taken a picture of the blooms. The flowers were small and spaced further apart than a reed stem epis blooms. They were yellow and brown with flecks of purple. The plants pretty much grow themselves I swear.

Thanks again for all of your help!
