I purchased this orchid a while ago so I don't remember the genus or species. If anyone has a clue please reply. It is not fully expanded.

Very pretty! You might be able to find it on Andy's Web site or J&L's (if the new owners are into the pleuros).

Cute. Some kind of Brassia?

Dendrobium validicolle ?

I'm going to say it's definitely a Diplocaulobium (btw, these are sometimes lumped in with Dendrobium and I don't know which genus is more widely accepted, so I'm sticking with Diplo).

This is a somewhat obscure genera that's not super common in cultivation, and I don't think it's heavily hybridized, so you probably do have a species. However, I don't know this group well enough to ID down to the species level, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable can weigh in.
