    Hi, any help would be appreciated.
    My wife recently returned from Thailand with 6 orchid plants to care for, only one of
    which is currently flowering.
    I am a complete novice and have no idea regarding specific care routines, and I want to keep them alive if possible.
    To identify all or some of them would be extremely helpful...thanks.
    2 quick pictures have been attached.

    The first on the left looks like it may be a Vanda.

    (1;2; Vanda sp.)
    (3;6; Cattleya sp.)
    4;5; Dendrobium sp.

    Check the Orchids Forum (in Plants by Taxonomic Groupings) for care and feeding information.

    I would like to thank all who offered ID information for my orchids.
    Very helpful, and I am now researching care and feeding info as suggested.

    Thanks again.
