Hi there, I passed a demolishing site today and while looking for mounting material I found these orphans. Number 4 and 5 were attached to a chopped down Avocado tree, the rest were in pots, potted in sand (as hard as a rock and as dry as a bone). It is now late evening and I will repot them early tomorrow morning.
I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

I think the third picture is a cymbidium, based on what the backbulb looks like. I don't think an oncidium backbulb would have so many layers of old leaves on it.

I have to agree that the third is a cymbidium. The backbulb is plump, round in shape, leaves are overlapping, many oncidiums are plump but the layer of leaves usually come from the sides. I am not an expert but if I am incorrect hopefully someone will chime in and help us out.
Great find
