What could these be?

[greenhouseFrog]

I was gifted these mounted plants by a friend and I wanted to get the opinion of others as to what these could possibly be!

I think this one is some kind of Brassavola hybrid…

Strap-leaf vanda?

I don’t even know about this one…the leaves look terrete but they have a fold in them!


Thanks in advance!

I think your first two guesses are accurate. #2 may be a hybrid with one of what used to be Ascocentrum as part of its ancestry. The last one may be a Brassavola species, many of them have very terete leaves. All of the plants look like they need some love (and water) Good luck...

Thank you for weighing in on my flurry of recent posts Roberta! And a special thanks for that Ascocentrum tidbit—the leaves are very reminiscent!

Agree the first one is probably some brassavola ilk as I can't see any obvious pseudobulbs. If I had seen some I'd have gone with some sort of Encyclia.

#2 is interesting just because it's not screaming "vanda" at me. I'm wondering if that's not an Aerides?

#3 I'm going with either paraphalaenopsis or seidenfadenia. Those leaves look fully terete to me.

Aerides is also convincing in the leaf…Hopefully I can get these to bloom…might make things significantly easier :rofl

#3 actually is unifoliate and has pseudobulbs like a Brassavola would, but they’re just so dry that they look like one long leaf!

As long as I can get in the ballpark culturewise, I have the patience to try to revive these!

I think the terete leaved one could be a holcoglossum, I’ve got one that looks just like it ( but mine is healthy)

Maybe but Holco's typically grow more from a developing central stem and have alternating opposing leaves. At least mine do.
