Orchid identification

Hi All,
My parents have many pots of orchids but I am not quite sure what they are. Can you help naming them?
Cheers
Ed

Not sure about most of these plants, a few look like oncidiums and some like dendrobiums, one even looks like a virgin orchid, plus most are not in bloom. The second picture with the flower is an Oncidium Sharry baby

Most of them are dendrobiums. The one with a pic of the bloom is an oncidium. I'm not sure about the one with round bulbs.

Since most don't have blooms, it's rather difficult to give more specifics. When they do bloom, post their pics here. I'm sure someone will be able to ID most, if not, all of them.

Thank you, guys.
I also searched internet and books as well. Unfortunately, they only show flowers However, what I can gether, most, I believe, are dendrobiums (1, 3, 5, 6,&7) including dendrobium speciosum (#5), which is an Aussie native Please correct me if I ID'ed wrongly

Thank you IDing #2. I take it as an Oncidium - quite easy if I had flowers

However, #4 is still un-ID'ed
Agarrat, is this the one you think is a virgin orchid?
I am pretty sure it is an Aussie native - seen similar ones in the wild while bushwalking (NO, I did not get this from the wild). They grow on rocky escarpment along the east coast of Aust.
Please have a go at IDing #4 or any other for that matter.
Cheers
Ed

I'm not all that experienced with orchids but I just recently added a couple of bulbophyllums to my collection that look something like number 4.

Okay, I took #4 to a local orchid nursery for identification.
It is called Liparis reflexa, or commonly known as onion orchid. Endemic to east Aust. So far so good , however the nursery man said the flower stinks like urine
Well, I know where I put them when they flower... under the neighbours bedroom window
Cheers
