Default i need some help identifying...

these two huge orchids that i won at a raffle at the Tucson Orchid Society meeting.

the one attached to wood is acually about 6 feet tall... it is hanging on my table until i can make room. it is next to my ceiling fan

i know the second one is a dendrobium (i see this type a lot!!) it definitely needs repotting.

sorry, i don't know how to resize photos.

WOW, stunning plants!! You're a lucky guy
The one hanging on your table seems to be a Schomburgkia, maybe tibicinis , and the second is for sure a Dendrobium, but i don't know the exact name...I think it could be an hybrid..

Your photo 21 looks like Schomburgkia (Myrmecophilia) tibinicis flowers to me

I kinda treat it like a Catt. They like water, sun and food just like Catts do. Yours looks incredibly healthy!
