Let's Play &quot;Name That Orchid&quot;!! Male
Default Let's Play "Name That Orchid"!!

Welcome to the wonderful new game show, "Name That Orchid" where contestants identify orchids not by the flowers but by photos of raggedy rescue orchids and a brief description. "What are the fabulous prizes?" you ask. Why, the greatest prize of all: the orchids don't die (because I will finally know what they are and therefore can find out how to properly care for them )!

Orchid number one has disk shaped pseudobulbs and single leaves measuring three to four inches. It has taken quite well to its new home on cork bark chunk.

The second orchid came to me with bare steeple-like pseudobulbs four to five inches inches tall and has a massive root system composed of dozens of multibranched roots that seem right at home in a basket of sphagnum moss.

Number three is an unhappy little fellow composed of stacking, flattened footballs topped with single "blades of grass" between seven and ten inches long.

The fourth orchid in question is a vanda which is supposed to bloom with large purple flowers that smell lightly of camphor (moth balls). It also has a genetic predisposition toward leaves that flop to the sides.

Finally we have a huge oncidium (that green thing sitting in the right foreground is a one gallon watering can) that sends out three to four foot long spikes covered in fifty to one hundred flowers each. The flowers are reported to smell of lemon and vanilla in either the evening or early morning.
contestants and thanks for the help!!!
