Wowee! What is #2? and #18? That rain looks REALLY soggy, with the heat I am sure the plants totally love it.

About time DC!  That rain picture perfectly reminds me of living in Puerto Rico... ah, memories...
Loves me the calamari orchid. What's #4? Is #15-16 the bamboo orchid you sent?

#2 is lepanthenes sherry birdy. Super cute mini from ecuagenera. In my Bubbies depression glass from Coca Cola.
#4 Epiphyllum hookerii. I finally green one well and then messed up the end. All these failed to open and died like 100% formed. Dunno. ES gave me some good info
#6 Epidendrum purum. Also #11. Super good smell. Like soap
#18 catesetum black jade
I love the summer rains. Once I dialed in the location of the plants and the medium, it’s just like watching god water the plants. Perfect

WW- Yes. 15 is the one I sent you. It is tall but very slim. You can keep it in a corner and it’ll get 4-6 feet but just keep the canes bound together and it’ll behave.
I would say to take her out in the summer. She lives in FULL florida sun.

#18 really caught my eye... Looks more like Clowesia than Catasetum. But then looked it up, actually Clowesetum Black Jade ... half Clowesia russeliana (other half is Ctsm. expansum) Yours takes after the the Clowesia parent more than the Catasetum... no color in the center (Ctsm. expansum usually has a red or yellow callus in the center) and it is a "perfect flower" - that is, no separate male and female. And super-floriferous, lots more flowers than the Catasetum parent. I can see the Catasetum in the overall shape though, more open than the Clowesia. I am quite fond of primary hybrids, where the characteristics of the parents are much more noticeable than in more complex hybrids.

Reading that post, roberta, is like a romance novel to a plant nerd like me
I appreciate your knowledge so much.
Thanks for catching I had the species name wrong

That's an OWL?!? I couldn't tell what it was. I go in for my first appointment toward cataract surgery today. 
My owls here are those great big honkin barn owls. They can wake the dead when they start their chatter in the middle of the night.
