Seidenfadenia mitrata, I think it's pretty popular in Southeast Asia, so might be more likely than some other possibilities. I can't tell though from your photo if the plant is monopodial or not (all my suggestions are for terete monopodial orchids, if it's sympodial, all my suggestions are wrong)

Here's S. mitrata:

Thanks Orkie!!! I think it looks just like the S. mitrata. And the link you attached is so very helpful! The flowers are beautiful too! I hope the number 5 grow and bloom just like that too.

Number 5 does have leaves. Here's a close up.

I think 8 and 3 are the same species/hybrid - some sort of oncidium as others have said.

I agree with 1 being dendrobium aggregatum.

I don't think 4 is an angraecum as not too many thai vendors carry angraecoids but I could be wrong...4, 6 and 7 are most likely ascoscenda/rhyncostylis type things..I'm predicting yellow/orange or pink flowers

Haha, I was just reading about the angraecum and the Charles Darwin's story there, very interesting. I think Calvin, you could be right. This angraecum may not be readily available in SE.Asia. Oh well, I can't wait for some of the orchids to flower, and I will then revive this post in the future date so that we can all see what these orchids are. Thanks.

Angraeciods are just as likely to be available in Asia as Oncidinae. I always see Taiwan vendors on ebay with Angraecoids I wish I could get.

Orchid no.7 started budding, and I accidentally decapitated the flowering bud while watering it with my spray can. However, 4 flowers still came to bloom.
I think it is an ascocentrum.

i think you need to think about giving them a good soak every day, misting isnt enuf....some of the psuedobulbs look awfully shrunk up already.....orchids on mounts need more water regardless of thier names....gl

The one that started to flower looks like Ascocentrum Miniatum...and #3 looks like a Rhynchostylis

The pictures were taken when I first got them. Have been soaking the mounted orchids once a week on top of the misting. I think I will soak them more often. Thanks.
