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 |
Wonderful pictures! Thank's for sharing.

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:
Chelyorchis ampliata -- species description |
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... |

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.

The Mormodes might be Mormodes badia...
