FUN - name this orchid game
 

OKAY- this is just for fun and based on the fact that we have a lot of orchid heads here with amazing skills and knowledge and so this could be fun.

Feel free to also post your own queries please just number the post so people can clearly guess on a specific picture or else it is way too complicated.... Please also KNOW the orchid you are posting, at least generally ( like a common name) otherwise it is not so fun since no one knows if they win LOL

I will just start with the flower and tell you that i grow it ….more clues if needed
i'll put the pic in a separate post to make it easier to identify

This is a great idea!!

yea, cos you know you will get them all!!! LOL

Only if there aren't any Bulbophyllums, I still can't ID those yet.

Okay...lets start pretty easy.

this one is tough definitely a Spathoglottis but I'm not sure which one. I'm going to take a flying leap and guess that it is an albescent S. plicata
