orchid Unlabelled oncidium

A tiny orchid that has finally decided to flower. I must have had it for several years now. Please don't hesitate to identify it as I am uncertain. Oncidium of some sort?

Looks like Oncidium Twinkle? Iain

Dendrobium Thailand Black

This Dendrobium is a Phalaenopsis type hybrid with lovely magenta flowers. It forms lots of buds that will flower for up to 2 months...... finally I have discovered a dendrobium that loves the warm!!

Dendrochilum glumaceum

Trey (Sanders) mentioned that they seem to do well in more light. This one has had a lot of diffuse light.

Masdevallia sp Peter

Usually I try to avoid shadows in closeups but this time I tried to emphasise them by putting the flower close to a surface. This is probably M. cuprea.

Coelogyne flaccida

Once you get the right conditions, these plants just grow, grow, grow and flower, flower, flower. Lots of water when in growth, a bit of fertiliser early on and lots of light.

Coelogyne flaccida

As I said, flower, flower, flower!

Angraecum sequipedale

This large Madagascan orchid does well in my intermediate greenhouse. Sitting alongside the C. flacidda above, it gets very similar treatment. Heavenly perfume.

Zygopetalum crinitum

It is a sturdy sort of plant and the flowers have scent but not particularly strong. The lip markings are very fine - on some clones the whole lip appears coloured.

The flowers are pretty but I wonder what it is? Iain

Looks like Dendrochilum glumaceum, the large flowered Dendrobium nobile and two different small flowered australian dendrobiums. Iain

Could this be another Coelogyne flaccida?? Iain
