Identification Help please!

[Steve B]

Hello

I have a few orchids that I have not been able to identify yet so I am not sure how to care for them. Can anybody help me out or point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Steve

I can't precisely tell how many orchids there are to identify, maybe 3?

Looking at the bottom 3 flower pics, from left to right, you have:

Left: Some type of Brassia hybrid or Brassia intergeneric.
Center: This one looks a lot like Beallara Marfitch. At least a Beallara of some type
Right: Some type of Miltonidium (Miltonia crossed with Oncidium) or Miltonia intergeneric.

Because of the extreme variety exhibited by hybrids, and the sheer number of hybrids, it will probably be impossible to identify the exact cross, but at least you know you have Oncidium alliance plants, probably some of them Miltonia and Brassia hybrids. This should be enough info for you to find what culture they need (see the AOS website for free culture sheets - www.aos.org).

Happy Growing!

Thanks kmarch!

I guess I should have explained the picture better. There are ony 3 plants in the pictures. Sort of in 3 columns. I tried to show 1 whole plant and a close up of the flower in columns. The file upload size kinda put me in a bind to get all the information up that I wanted.

Thanks for the help

Middle picture is probably not the common Marfitch, since it is a little too light in color, but certainly looks like that kind of breeding. The right picture looks a lot like another Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter.
