These are actually good pic sizes for me, cause I can zoom in or out. I love it. I don't know why you started a new thread though cause I had to go back to the other one to read the original question. I don't know their names though but I do have 2 questions for you.
1.Are they from the wild/forest?
2.What if any are restrictions for picking or removing orchids or any other plant from the forest?

P1 could be Pluerothallis stricta or Pleurothallis microcardia ssp. tamaensis not sure about the other two but they are (IMO) all pluerothallis'

I think they're all pleurothallids but I'm not familiar enough with this alliance to help with species id.

HI SWAMPER
Yes They are from the wild forest, the begin of the Amazon is in the Andes, I think my country is rich in species specially in this part of the Andes. This part is call the cloud forest, allways is cluod and rains and warm, is the perfect habitat for the orchids and for many insects and butterflys...
Yes I pick them in this forest, there's a lot of people that exploted clandestinely the fine wood like cedro and caoba, these people cut the primary forest ( where the orchids grow) they think the orchids is a kind of grass and they throw away... I took them from a tree in the floor ... they are going to die in the sun...
I read that 3% of the amazon is cut every year ... it's a problem....
Here we have no restrictions to remove plants of the forest.... it's a big problem and there's no control, the police is only checking the drugs.... but nothing with the species of orchids and with the animals....

Sorry about my english...

Could it be a Restrepia?

Your english is fine. At least I understand you perfectly. Its very very sad about the forest. Im glad you are doing the right thing and caring for the thrown to the side orchids. Good luck.

You're right!!! maybe this is a Restrepia, I think only in Pleurothallis or Stellis, but the flower could be a restrepia... I send you another Photo of a flower and leaf .... I wait until it open...

THANK YOU!!!

Beto,
Yeah, the third is definitely Pleurothallis inflata... I think the second is the Pleurothallis cardiothallis that I identified in your third identification thread...
