Help needed identifying Asian Orchids

Hi members,
I was told the attached photos are orchids. They were purchased in Koh Kong, Cambodia near the border with Thailand. Any help in identifying what they are would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hard to tell unless they are flowering I'm afraid.

The first one might be an orchid, tough to tell. The second and third ones are orchids. The last two are not.

The second one looks like a cymbidium of some kind, the third one possibly a coelogyne. It's diffiult to tell without seeing the flower. Even with a flower pic it's nearly impossible to ID internet photos. A proper ID requires careful comparison of all characteristics of the plant with a botanical description of the species.

These are just guesses.

The 4th one looks like a tassel fern, the 5th one also looks like a fern.

1st one- maybe bulbophyllum.

The 2nd one looks similar to my cymbidium aloifolium- it has those similar weird fleshy leaves. Endemic to Cambodia,too.

3rd one- liparis?

Thanks! For all your help! I live in Cambodia. The only source I have are you and the internet. I bought these at a plant stall in Koh Kong. This large area is unspoiled close to the Cardamon mountains. Whether they actually raised them or went into the jungle to acquire is uncertain. Will they ever bloom? Who knows.
They are really interesting to look it. And there are probably at least 20 other varities still in the plant stall. Thanks arain. I will research the info you supplied. Hope I can get back to you with questions in the future. Larry.

No. 4 is definately a tassell fern. Unsure which type though. You can look them up on the net, there are literally thousands and they can grow huge and look fantastic.

No. 5 looks like a fern too.
