I was given two new orchids from a local nursery but I don't know what they are or how to care for these ones.

Thanks!

They're both lovely and look to be cattleya. Can the nursery provide the names of them?

Nope. Pretty unhelpful. are you sure they are still the same? The flowers are different sizes and the number of them are different.

Yes, I believe they are both cattleya. As for the hybrids, I don't know which ones you've got, but someone else will chime in if they look familiar.

they are both hybrid cattleyas....mini catts by the look of em....they will require similar care....there is no hope of naming them, and there are thousands of mini cattleya hybrids out there....congrats and gl!

May I post mine also?

I sold this vanda cuttings just few hours ago (about $4). The seller doesn't have an idea what is the real name of this vanda. She simply called it Velthius Alba Light Violet which I think is not its real name. Anyone can identify what is this? Thanks in advance

Quick question, what is the name of the orchid on the calendar pic on the left?
