Coelogyne NOID

This bloom (a friend gave me a cutting last week) looks very similar to the Coelogyne fragrans blooming all over my garden right now, so I'm guessing it is a similar species. But, the frilly lip is...

Dendrobium alticola

This looks like a dendrobium from section grastidium, and most closely resembles Dendrobium alticola in the book that I have. Can anyone confirm that identification?

The flowers lasted for two or...

Striking spotty flowers with looong petals / sepals

Can anyone help me with this? I caught it blooming today on a cane I'd previously thought was pretty straggly and boring, but stuck it in the tree anyway.

Yellow with brown spots and long lateral sepals

Seems like this is another native New Guinea genus - anyone know what it is? The pseudobulbs look somewhat like a Coelogyne, but the inflorescence arises from the base of the pseudobulb not the tip. ...

bright yellow local orchid

Another mystery. Bright yellow flowers with a bit of red on the lip. Several flowers are out in clusters around the leaf nodes.
Again - I'd be grateful of any help identifying it!
