A couple more SW Mexico orchids for ID's
 
Thank you so much for the help with the last ones. I am trying to put together an ID sheet for people to use in the field while on my tours. Here are a couple of more, one may be repeated. Also, a tree and a hanging plant that maybe someone will know what they are. Any ideas on how many species of orchids are in this area? (Guerrero, MX)

#1 and #2 are Encyclias, #3 is an Oncidium (possibly sphacelatum, but hard to tell), and #4 is in the Catasetinae. Not sure what the other plants are, though the hanging one looks like a cactus of some kind.

4 is a Mormodes
6 could be a rhipsalis

Hunter, are the first 3 pictures of the same plant? Because they look a lot like my Clelyorchis ampliata var majus which is blooming now. Same leaves, bulbs, and flowers. Your flowers have a little more brown on them. Check out:

The first two are without a doubt Encyclia's. The third is a member of the Oncidiacea but without close up impossible to identify.

Thanks for the input on all of this. No they are not the same plant, different locations. I thought they were the same species though. I need to get there when not conducting a tour and take my time with better shots.

The hanging plant I was asking about is actually the plant in front of the cactus. It has a hoya look about it, but obviously is not.

Thanks again for putting your collective brains into this. There will be more...

Hmmm... pretty hard to tell much from the photo, but it sort of reminds me of something in the Ericaceae. That's just a wild guess, though.

The flower labeled "other tree" may be a Bombax or Pseudobombax - nicknamed 'shaving brush tree' because of the flowers. Depends on what the tree looks like.
