Hey guys! Its been awhile since Ive been on here and have some orchids I kind of need IDs for, at leat the genus names so I know what I have XD I mostly grow Carnivorous plants so orchids arent my strongest area so I'll let the experts here help me out. I think I have some sort of epidendrum and a dendrobium but the other thing no clue. It had flowers coming from its base and hanging from a basket they were like leopard print or something colored. The 'dendrobium' had a huuuugeee flower stalk like feet long with a few pink flowers on the end. Thanks guys!😂

Some home depot noids and a massive Cattleya noid from a mall orchid show years ago(one of my first orchids) It has massive yellow flowers I'll be sure to take some pictures this fall!

IMG_4891.jpg looks like Dendrobium faciferum. The other Den might be speciosum or a speciosum hybrid.

I think you are right on the money with the faciferum, thanks! I dont think the Dendrobium is speciosum or a hybrid of it. It could be but the flower just doesnt look anything like it below is a quick picture I managed to get from the mother plants flowers, the flower spike was super long and only had those few flowers. Maybe its a complex hybrid and I'll never know but theres a picture just in case XD. Also can anyone tell me at least the genus of the plant in the first picture, I have no idea what it is or how to aproach it in terms of care. Thanks in advance!

Re: last post- 1st photo looks like a warm growing Cymbidium to me, I'll leave it further to those with more knowledge of that genus. Photo 2- and the big pseudobulb 2nd photo in your first post- look like a Schomburgkia (now Myrmecophilia). I'd tentatively guess the hybrid Tibiana which is quite common, but I don't think you can ever be sure. Its parent tibicinis could be it too, or other species or hybrids within the Myrmecophilia genus.

In the batch of NOIDs, you have a Brassia hybrid and hybrid Phalaenopsis, don't think you can get closer than that. And your other post with the deciduous Den- the lip looks cup or slipper shaped? Only one I'm remembering with that is moschatum, don't know or really think that's it but look to related species and wait for someone more knowledgeable to come along.

I agree, Cymbidium and Schomburgkia / Myrmecophila.

Ok with your help I have found an ID for these noids thanks guys so much(I obsses about knowing what I have in my collection XD) even if I didnt know the IDs I still got a heck of a deal for those I got all 3 for only $10 XD yes im not lying lol. Ok so first I have identified as Cymbidium aloifolium, next is definitely a Myrmecophila Tibicinis(or most likely a hybrid with it, google pics are all over the place) and last dendrobium faciferum. Also about my other post I think you got it. I am almost completely sure it is a Moschatum but I will post a pic below to get reassurances. Thanks!
