Two unknown orchid &quot;dinos&quot; Male
Default Two unknown orchid "dinos"

Here are a couple of plants that the local greenhouse I am working with has, and obviously have had them for many years.
I can not remember the blooms, but I am told they have both bloomed reliably, although no one can remember the blooms at all, so I have little to go on.
The one with the foliage looks very familiar and I know that at one time I was told what it was, but that was several years ago.
Any ideas.
And the one with the "piggy-back" pseudo-bulbs - not at all sure what that could be, so any ideas/suggestions are appreciated.
Please take a look and a guess - any input is appreciated.
Thanks!
Steve

Ahhhh - that is a new one on me, so I will be checking it out....umhhh - which one do you think might be the Peristeria? The top two photos are of one plant, and the last two are of a totally different species.

Thanks - I will be looking that one up!

Just looked that one up - it is a real close one, but the leaves of P. elata look much wider - of course this one has not received very good care over the years, although we are now trying to revive any that are worth working with. I will check through that family though as it is very close.
BTW - I do know the leaves on the upper plant are long lived, not annual or dying after the bloom. Just a little FYI that I do know.....

The first two photos look like it could be a Coelogyne, such as C. cristata or similar species, possibly even a hybrid of it?

Second plant, maybe look into Phaius. I've seen then do the bulb on bulb thing before.

Thanks MHR! I believe you are right about the possibility of Coelogyne - great candidate!
Phaius, huh? I can't say that I have seen that in them, but I have only had a couple in the past - I will check it out!!
