Separate names with a comma.
I agree with Kevin the first plant does look to be a Cattleya type (both growth habit and remaining bud). Not sure about the other. Shaun
Your plant is probably suffering from overwatering. The underlying reason is probably not enough light. Without light to give the plant energy the...
I always thought that it was to create a day/night temperature differential which many orchids need to induce flowering. I wouldn't try it on my...
Congratulations on your orchid flower! While cross pollination between plants would have greater chance of genetic diversity, selfings between...
Re: Wild Paphiopedalums Cool ! It's always nice to see orchids in their natural habitat. I finally got to my local Ladyslipper this summer but...
The catalog at SBOE is fantastic. I didn't follow the link because I can easily lose 1/2 a day just browsing. Sometimes it's safer living where...
There are a few Cymbidium species that grow on trees in the wild but I think most Cymbidium hybrids would require so much water and fertilizing as...
I am concerned about those marks on the leaves as well. They could be viral (they will appear on the new leaves as well) but they could also be...

Thanks Ron.
Can someone please provide a name for this hardy shrub? It survives -48 C and was called an 'old man plant' when my Aunt gave me a piece. Grows...
It looks to be some type of Phalaenopsis so I guess my first question is are the plants physically connected (ie: are two of the plants offsets of...
It certainly looks like a healthy Phalaenopsis baby (also called a keiki). Commonly grown as a houseplant they like high humidity, damp but not...
In some cases Vandas can be 'topped' to produce new plants. I just lost my only Vanda under similar circumstances. Roots collapsed and then lower...
I haven't had much luck with Brassavola (nodosa) under lights but they sure were happy when I saw them in Mexico. Yours looks to be a larger...
With Phalaenopsis and other monopodial orchids once the terminal lead is damaged the growth is doomed. That's the bad news, your plant may yet...
I haven't had much luck yet with my Phrag hybrid (not enough light). I think your on the fight track with RO water. I've upped the light on my P....
I don't grow this one myself but it is native to your part of the world so it should enjoy your conditions. I have trouble figuring out light...
Beautiful orchid species. I checked my reference books and http://www.orchidspecies.com/indexqrsel.htm it fits for location and genus but seems to...
Prem, Nice to see the 'Ghost' in bloom, hopefully the pollinator comes along to fertilize some pods. I've seen a few successful blooms on...
