| rmt135, The problem with identifying tagless orchids is that unless they are certainly a species, or unless they are a popular, well-known, distinctive hybrid, an ID will pretty much be impossible. Hybrids demonstrate a great deal of variation, the more complex they hybrid, the greater the variation. So you could have orchids of 2 different parentages looking exactly the same or very similar. So beyond saying "Cattleya" or "Vanda" more specific IDs won't be possible with one exception: the white and green flower found at: http://www.orchidgeeks.com/gallery/d...p?imageid=2053. This flower could be the species Brassavola nodosa. Unfortunately it could also be the hybrid Brassavola Little Stars (nodosa x cordata). A picture isn't enough to sort it out. You'd probably have to get it looked at by a taxonomist. I'm concerned by something I see in 2 of your cattleyas: http://www.orchidgeeks.com/gallery/d...p?imageid=2041 http://www.orchidgeeks.com/gallery/d...p?imageid=2043 I see irregular colour breaks in the petals and sepals. In the first one you'll see it in the middle of the dorsal sepal and in the middle of the left lateral sepal (but not in the right). In the second one you'll see it in the dorsal sepal and the left petal of the flower on the left and in both petals and the right lateral sepeal of the flower on the right. These colour breaks are symptoms of virus. I strongly recommend getting rid of these plants as they will not be healthy plants, they will probably always bloom with these colour breaks and they can potentially infect the rest of your collection. Orchid viruses can not be treated or cured. The only remedy is to destroy the plants. I'm sorry to have to give you this bad news because they are pretty flowers.

| I got them from JB nursery. If you want I can get for you the http://www.orchidgeeks.com/gallery/d...p?imageid=2053 Brassvola hybrid if not it is Brassavola nodosa. It is still in stock. I hope. (This nursery is different from sick orchid nursery). Kmarch, I am going back to the nursery where I got the sick orchids. I want to hear from the owner what he got to say about them. |

| kmarch could have mistaken the rain damage. Normally i would worry that it would be a virus. But a lot of the orchids is affected by the rain. This could affect the chinese new year harvest as the flower tend to have fungus attack . My Dendrobium in the the farm bloom normally without the rain. With the Rain the flower look exactly like what you have. So dont worry about it. Yes get me the Brassavola nodosa, and the Brassia, I love the JB price of it. Thanks in advance. |

| Kmarch, Is there any other symptoms or signs other than the discoloration of the petals & sepals that can lead us to know it is a virus attack? Will the leaves show any sign? Thanks |

orchid plant by simply looking at it without it being laboratory tested. There are certain symptoms that can lead to suspect one though. Yellowish ring and rectangular spots can sometimes be characteristic. Necrotic spots together with chlorosis (lack of chlorophyl) can also be a sign. Usually these spots are see through on the leaf versus just on one side.

| I can help some on the unique vandaceous you have 2052   It is such a unique flower and leaf pattern that I have never seen another even close. It also grows better for me in a pot rather than a basket.
