Challenge Accepted!!!! 40 Orchids.... Identification Assistance Requested
 

Hi all :-)
I have over 40 Orchids that are not Identified. I am putting the challenge out to all on Orchid Board to help me ID them as they bloom :-)

#1

***Note: There is a back story to this challenge that if your interested in u can find on beginner discussion under inherited greenhouse :-)

I think you may have to show pics of the whole plant also.
For instance #2 is more than likely an antelope Dendrobium and # 3 is probably a Cat but to make sure it would be nice to see the whole plant.
By the way you have done a great job! Your grandfather would be proud. Keep up the good work....Jean

Thanks so much Jean, Id like to think he would be :-)

Stanhopea shuttleworthii
I think thats the Stanhopea on the first pic
greetings

Ooooo thanks so much panthera :-) your the first to tackle the stanhopea ID.

This basket it is in is over a metre hanging and has had 4 sets of blooms in the last 2-4 weeks :-) they last approximately 5-7 days and there have been over 40 blooms since it started.

Some of the psuedobulbs are shrivelled and covered in a black green moss type thing as is the other stanhopea in the green house.

I have to tackle an RnR session with them to give them the TLC they deserve but I'm procrastinating, leaving them till last as their size and unit upside down flowers are intimidating for a beginner lol.

I agree in every point.
#1 Stanhopea
#2 Antillope Dendrobium
#3 Cattleya hybrid
Pics of flowers are good, additional pics of plant aspect are better for id.
Good job.
