Help, what type of orchids are these?

Hi guys, any hints or tips are appreciated!!

These ones too...

Wow, those are some unhappy looking plants - they do seem to be recovering though.

I am having a hard time making any guesses on most of them, but I will try and give it my best shot. Please remember I am not completely sure on any of these - just my best guesses from the pictures.

First Batch:

1 - unsure. Could be Dendrobium, maybe.

2 - very hard to tell - Dendrobium again?

3 - new growth reminds me of a Cattleya - but its so very small.

4. This one does look like a Dendrobium to me.

5. also very hard to tell - maybe a Laelia? small species?

6. I would guess Dendrobium again - but could be Epidendrium too...

7. I have no clue - growths are unfamiliar from this angle.

8. Not sure on this one either

9. This one looks like an Epidendrium to me, but could be another orchid with which I am not familiar

10. Could we get a close-up of the flowers on this one? It might help us figure out what it is.

Second Batch:

1. Oh my - that's teeny, and I have no clue.

2. I would guess Dendrobium

3. Are those single leaves at the top of a fat pbulb? It looks like a Cattleya from this angle.

4. That looks like a bifoliate Cattleya - in a very unhappy state.

5. Another possible Dendrobium.

If you could give us some kind of idea what possibilities exist - I know you have a Dendrobium identified - did she have Epidendriums, Bulbophylums, small rupicolorius Laelias or other orchids like that? Did she collect any oddball ones - outside of the normal ranges?

Thank you, that was a tremendous effort!!

I know Granma had some from every type, apart from that I have no idea... Sorry.

She had a good mixture of exotic, rare and common local varieties. I left most of them in the greenhouse back in Innisfail. These were just the ones I took with me. I know there are loads of Vanda's left up north, I didn't take any, but I will on my next trip...

Okay, so I found some tags on the orchids, can't tell you which is which though because i'm pretty sure there was some mix up when repotting...

1. Den. Autumn Show x Polar Queen
2. Lc. Platinum Sun (that's all that's legible)
3. Onc. (Apricot Flame x Golden Triangle) X Onc. Erin Kobayashi 'Lahiana Gold'
4. Onc. Maculatum Solendidium

All the tags are pretty deteriorated, so this was the best I could do, and I have no idea if they are attached to the correct plants!!
