What type of orchids are these??

[Sherrie]

I am a newbie and just purchased 2 new orchids. I have a couple of phals. and one onc. The tag on one of the new one says, Alcra. Pacific Nove "Pacific Heights" and the tag on the other one says, Vuyl. Fall in Love "Lovely Lady". My question is what kind of orchids are these so I can research how to take care of them? Thanks if you can help.

Here is a link you might want to bookmark that tells you what all the intergenerics are crosses of - http://www.orchids.mu/Glossary/Glossary_A.htm
Alcra = Aliceara = Brassia X Miltonia X Oncidium
Vuyl = Vuylstekeara = Cochloda X Miltonia X Odontoglossum
Growing them is going to be some sort of mix of all the parents involved. Good luck and Enjoy! Mike

Thank you Mike. This will be difficult for me a beginner but I will do my best. Thanks again. Sherrie

Hi Sherrie,

Adding to Mike's suggested link, I suggest the following link, too. Keep in mind that that website also sells orchid supplies. I haven't bought any from them. So I can't give a review. However, they have helpful info on their site.

Good luck.
