Thanks! I also think the first orchid is a Fitch variation. I've been nosing around for a couple of weeks trying to sort it out. Nothing quite fits. I get a lot of orphaned orchids dropped at my doorstep, this was one of them. It was underlight but in fairly good health. Spent the summer/ early Fall outside. I think someone was probably growing it too warm, no blooms so it ended up at "Auntie Clara's Orchid Orphanage"

The violet one, Boy would I like to get another! It is almost in full bloom. It may have a slightly sweet night fragrance... Dying to know what the heck it is. It may have a been a Home Depot purchase but I really am blank on it. I have no records on this plant which is odd. It looks structurally different from a Mttsa and the blooms are not similar... cool grower, really cool.

I have a 3rd which I hope will bloom in spring. Another one that had a hard time adjusting to my new conditions and has skipped bloom cycles...

I already posted a couple of pics for the contest, thought it was a good way to join in here. But maybe next month! ...Thanks for the compliment!
