You have wonderful looking plants in bloom! The Trichopilia tortilis is just too awesome looking with those twisted petals. On my wishlist it goes! 
I've never heard of Robiquetia before. What alliance do they belong to?

Wow, that Robiquetia mooreana looks fantastic. It reminds me of a pomigranite with all those red flowers packed in

Camille,
I'm not really sure. By the look of the plant it is probably vandaceous. It's a monopodial, looks like a small Phal., but likes to grow out horizontally.

Yeah, it looks to me like a big red raspberry, and just about that color. The bloom cluster is about 3 inches long and 1 inch across. Quite a mouthful.
