New Growth on revived neglected Orchids

I finally have some pictures of the new growth on Granma's neglected orchids that I inherited... Thanks to everyone who gave me advice on how to revive these.

I now have to identify them!
The only tags I could find are:

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 as there was some confusion when repotting... *sigh*

New growth is a good sign. Keep us posted on their progress. I also did some looking up on your names. The Lc. Platinum Sun is now just C. Platinum Sun...here is a pic of it from OrchidWiz.



The Den. Autumn Snow x Polar Queen now has a new hybrid name. Den. Virtual Magic is the name now but there wasn't a photo of it. I do have a snapshot of the lineage and a photo of what all of the parents look like.



Parents:



The Onc. Maculatum Solendidium isn't coming up at all. The only thing close I could find was an Onc. maculatum and another orchid Onc. splendidum. Not sure if yours is a hybrid of the two or something else altogether.

Haven't looked up anything on the other Onc yet but if I find anything I will post here about it.

HTH

You know it's quite possible I didn't spell it correctly. The tags have deteriorated badly and are really hard to read...

Micky, Do the names you listed match the order of the pictures?

If so, just wanted to let you know that pictures 3 and 4 are very definitely not Oncidiums.

Hi,
Nope, I have posted photo's in another thread (Inherited granma's neglected orchids etc..) of all of the plants I have, If you could help me identify which is which I'd very much appreciate it.

I think I might just remove the tags and wait for some blooms... Not sure what to do, but I'm pretty sure the tags are on the incorrect pots...
