First one is some kind of Dendrobium hybrid.

Second and third are some kind of Oncidium hybrid I believe, probably with O. varicosum in the ancestry. :)

The oncidium looks like 'sweet sugar' but there are many hybrids that have that same look.

I agree, sweet sugar!

ok, now... When I photographed that yellow "oncidium", it had about 10 spikes, all ridiculously bloomed with about 60-80 little flowers each. All the spikes had (and everytime have) a length of about 7 or 9 feets long... yep, you've read right. As of today, all of the spikes are almost gone. I'll wait till it blooms again and take another photo. I wrote all this because I've made a google search and found that the Oncidium Sweet Sugar doesn't have spikes so long... Am I right?

Can it be Oncidium sphacelatum..?

CTB 11-04-2010 12:23 PM

now, that you have more facts to work with, you can narrow it down, here is a pic of my sphacelatum
Nine spikes, hundreds of flowers, I split it into 4 large baskets.

Howdy
in my experience, sphacelatum is never that yellow, and not redish but brownish, and the lip/skirt is never that large. I don't think it is gower ramsey, or sweet sugar, etc, because in hybridizing them, they were trying to shorten them down to managable size [but my gower ramsey has gone 4 plus feet; so.....]. My educated guess is as mentioned first, something along the lines of oncidium varicosum.

take care
may all your orchids bloom like crazy

After seeing CTB's Oncidium sphacelatum, all I can say is that hers looks almost the same as mine...
:-)
THANKS!!!!
