Brassavola nodosa? I hadnt even thought about it. I can't see the base of the plant (maybe I should have taken them out of the coconut shell) so just assumed.

Very puzzling dendrobium

I'm really surprised by this one. This was a gift from my niece's boyfriend's mother, and is actually two plants in one coconut shell. I could have taken them out when I got them a couple of years...

Most of the old flowers have fallen off. The flower spike on the keikei hasn't started to open yet. I expect it should be pretty well fully in bloom in another week or so. It looks like there will be...

Yeah, I'm glad I got it. I'm surprised to hear opinions that it's Rhyncostylis, because I've got a couple of gigantea and the leaves and roots are very different. The flowers do look like coelestis,...

Ah, thanks. After I posted the inquiry I stumbled across the Aerides connection. I thought the color of Aerides falcata was a good match, but I didn't go far enough down the list. The lawrencea...

Another new acquisition. The plant looks a lot like an Ascocentrum garayi I got back in January, but is a little bigger and the color of the flowers is different from any of the Ascocentrum I've been...

Don't think this is Rhynchostylis

Picked up some new acquisitions from the market "in front of the camp," over the river next to the Army base. The lady told me the Thai name, but I didn't catch it and was too embarrassed to ask her...

I don't think it's sunburn. I've had some bad luck trying to find a spot with enough sun but not too much, and have scorched some nice plants. They are definitely the oldest leaves on the plant,...

Laelocattleya leaves rimmed with yellow-brown

NOW you tell me :( I guess I just don't get out enough. I guess I just have to accept I'm going to kill a lot of good orchids before I get the hang of it.
