what type?
 

hi! i posted some pictures hoping someone might recognize what type of orchids they are. these have been with me for 2 years with so much slower developments. my other orchids like dends, phals and vandas are doing well and i think are happy already(they have been shooting new roots). if someone could tell what these are, i would like to give them the proper care they need so they'll also be happy.

thank you.

The third picture (3 and 4 are the same?) looks to be an Aerides (a Vanda relative)... these can be grown in almost any conditions. I prefer to grow them in shadier conditions, and water them heavily throughout summer, and cut back in winter.

The first pictured orchid is strange, do you have another closer picture? :)

I agree with Aerides, the first one :hmm I think is an Eria. When you flower them please post new pic's:photo:

one and two look like cattleya alliance; three and four dendrobium and five cymbidium

I'll take that back: 5 could be vanda alliance

I was thinking #1 was maybe encyclia of some kind.

sorry for taking so long...

this is a closer pic of no. 1
