My mom's 40 yo orchids...what are they?

[jesscorine]

Photos 1-3 are all the original plant, 2 huge pots full of pb's, one bloom left fortunately for identification purposes. The other 2 plants are labeled, 3-6 is one plant and pic 7 the other (and quite newer than the first 40+ yo plant) but I'd love some help translating the labels Thanks!

The first one is Anacheilium cochleatum (it has been through several name changes over the years. IOSPE PHOTOS

The second one is an oncidium (onc.) hybrid. The third is a laeliocattleya (Lc) which is an intergeneric hybrid between Laelia and Cattleya (Laelocattleya (Lc.) Gold Digger ‘Orchid Jungle' HCC/AOS, Exotic Rainforest rare tropical plants)

They all look like they need dividing and repotting.

understatement of the year...it would have been done years ago but I am just getting into orchids in the past 2 months...they've been waiting for me, apparently. my mom is very hands-off -- they even sat outside under the trees last night regardless of the freeze warnings! they've survived this long...i guess

More orchids have been killed by kindness than negligent. They are tougher than many people realise and once they're in the right medium and position like to be left alone to a certain degree.
