Some of the photos aren't that great but there the only ones I have of these orchids. I am putting together a grow space and would like to put these plants in their proper growing conditions. Thanks for looking.

In the third pic, I see a Dendrobium chrysotoxum (yellow flowers), and a Phragmipedium (red flower, probably Phrag. besseae hybrid but I'm not sure).

Thanks Carl, I think that the plant in pic. #5 is some kind of Cattleya sp. but its the only photo of the plant with some flowers on it and I think by that time the flowers were loosing some purplish pigment and turning whiter. I also think that in photo 1 on the right it is a there is a Phalaenopsis Baldan's Kaleidoscope 'Golden Treasure', but I can't determine what the one on the left is (the same flower is in the next picture). I think that the 4th pic is another kind of Dendrobium but I don't know which and the the 6th looks like a Bulbophyllum, but I don't know which one and I haven't been able to get it to flower. That's the more informative version of the earlier post. Thanks again Carl.

You have a variety of orchids which require different cultures. The phalaenopsis is the easiest (picture #1 right side). Picture #3 has a phrag and a dendrobium. The first picture (on the left side) is maybe an oncidium intergeneric and I think picture #2 could be an oncidium intergeneric also. You might be right about the last picture being a bulbo. Without a bloom picture I couldn't guess which one.
