Default Three Colombia Orchids To ID

Here are four (oops couldnīt edit the title) orchids growing around my yard and in the woods around my house that I would like to identify.

The first is ground growing (but leaves not those visible in photo).



Here are others that grow on trees:







Close up of above;




I have more but this is probobly more than enough in one post.

Epidendrum radicans
Lockhartia probably longifolia
Encyclia (Prosthecea) - not sure which one
Looks like something related to Stanhopea, but I'm going to have to look further.

I have to agree with Ron - Epidendrum, Lockhartia, Prosthechea and a Stanhopea relative.

Thank you both very much. Reviewing the Encyclia entry in wikipedia it states the genus goes to 1000m. My plant is at 2100m. I donīt know ehether that has any bearing on the ID.

That Stanhopea relative looks like a Lycomormium fiskei.

Actually, I stand corrected. The Stanhopea relative is something I'm not familiar with. I apologize.

1 and 2 correct by previous posters.

The 3rd plant is Prostechea (former Encyclia) it could be Prostechea vespa but can't be sure from pictures.

The last one Xylobium leontoglossum

Yes I need to be sure to photograph the whole plant but thank you very much for the identifications. The one identified as Prostechea vespa will probobly bloom soon and I can verify it.
