Hi,
I bought these in Trader Joe's last week and some yesterday. Any id help would be greatly appreciated. Picture number five is of a very fragrant orchid

Lovely!

The first three are Phalaenopsis (the third probably an equestris hybrid). The fourth is Miltoniopsis.
5 Oncidium, and 6 Oncidium alliance inter-generic hybrid.

Some members might have an idea about names for the Oncidiums.

Very nice looking orchids...
You have some that I keep considering but not getting.... now I want them even more lol...
I especially like that yellow phal...
But not as much as the creamy white one with neon pink spots!

a couple more pictures and a slipper orchid or two

The slipper orchids were $15 each. I don't know if I should be worried about or treat the brown spot on the one plant's leaves? I don't know how to tell the name of the one variety from the tag

I think the flowers on the white Miltonia may have succumb to the very cold temperatures yesterday. I didn try to protect it, but don't think I succeeded.

Thank you for the tip about the one being an equestris hybrid. I did an online image search and think I identified it: Phal. Gining Alicia (equestris hybrid)

Hello SJF:
A few months back unsardonic posted the name of one the supplier for Trader Joe's - they get many of their orc's from Matsui orchids - I have been able to ID some of my Oncidiums through their website, although not all of their phalaes and such are ID'ed. They say that even though it would only cost a few cents to put ID labels in the pots, this would make the cost to prohibitive for their contract with TJ's.
This may help you a little. I hope someone ID's the fragrant one - get us a few more pics of the leaves and plant in general and it might get ID'ed right away. I really like it and as it is fragrant - just another plus in my book. Great pics!
Hope this helps,
Steve

Thank you for your help. The phals weren't the same grower as the intergenerics. It had a different label. Here are some more pictures of the wonderfully fragrant one. It smelled so good that as hard as I tried I had to get it

SJF:
I really love the tight cluster of blooms - I did not realize it was an oncidium-type from the original post - the color and the fact that it is fragrant is phenomenal.
Thanks for the posting of pics - I really like this one, if it gets ID'ed will be looking for it.

WOW! you are really lucky to get a Paph with a tag from Trader Joes....the grower is still having the name registered so it only gave the parents name(at least you have one that is not a NOID....
picture .012 looks like a Phalaenopsis Artemis (amabilis x equestris) the yellow phal looks like Phal. Brother Lawrence to me....and the very first picture of a Phal in your post looks like a Phal. Leopard Prince....but I am only guessing from my own collection posted here of which you are welcome to perouse and compare with....
The intergenerics you need to email the grower/seller for TJ....Good Luck !
