Alwska,

Of the 2 pics in post #11, the first looks to be a Bulbophyllum or Cirropetallum of some sort. I can not tell from the picture what the second one is.

The plant pictured in post #12 is definitely a Coelogyne, probably one of the species in the section Flaccidae. To be more speciffic I'd need a better flower pic and some details about the flower (lip shape, number of keels) and the plant.

Please be aware that it is pretty much impossible to ID a non-flowering orchid except perhaps to ID the genus. Even then it is tricky because many Cattleyas, Laelias, and Sophronites look similar when not in bloom. It is much easier ot ID an orchid in bloom (assuming we're talking species) but even then often times its can't be done positively from only a pic.

Do you have other pics of that Coelogyne?
