Question I have no idea what this one is.

My daughter gave this one to me about 5 months ago. There are two of them actually - when I got them they were wired back to back on a piece of pine bark about the size of a silver dollar. I separated them and just stuck them in pots on some bark which seems to have helped some since now a leaf and pseudobulb together are about 4". I want to move them into a good media for them but have no idea what they are.

Anybody know what these things are?

It looks like Dendrobium lindleyi (formerly aggregatum). Nice pickup, that's a great species!

My guess would be a smaller type of schomburgkia. I have one that has similar bulb/leaves.

Looks like Den lendleyi to me as well. Make sure you give it a winter rest with little to no water so that it gives you good blooms in the spring!

Thumbs up I have no idea what this one is.

Thanks everyone for the ID. I read up on the care and feeding of this little critter and mounted one of them on a piece of cork bark yesterday. Will do the same to the other one today. Being in Florida, there is only one thing I see as a problem, the needed cool temperatures during the winter while still providing bright light.

Cool temp is only relative. I think even in FL nights can drop to 60s in winter, and that's enough of a drop. The dryness is essential however. Try not to water between Thanksgiving and Valentines day. If you must, a light sprinkle once a month. They get a little desiccated but that's ok. Around March or so you should see spikes. Flowers are golden yellow. High light with afternoon or morning sun is essential.
This mimics the dry season in their native habitat in South East Asia.
Good Luck
Andrew

I've seen th e enndleyi (aggregatum) for sale in Lowe's around here a fair bit the last several months, and I'm only a few miles from you. Gives a possible point of origin, and helps support it being ledleyi.
I had a big one I bloomed every spring in S Fla. It gets cool enough here.
