Only reason I asked was that all my nobile-type dendrobiums flower from the sides of the canes, they are topped by a single leaf.

None of them have a spike that comes out the top of the cane like...

ID, and recommendations for care ?

I'm not after the exact ID of this one (I'll worry about that if / when it flowers), just after the type of orchid and recommendations for care (what type of potting mix, etc).

There are two...

Unknown Cattleyas in bloom

At least I think they are Cattleya's.

The one mounted on the tree branch is quite large, the blooms (there are 5 on a single spike) are maybe 3-4" across. The "canes" are around a foot tall or...

I think this one needs re-potting !

A rather sad looking dendrobium that was in my dad's collection - the tag says 17/2/02, so I'm guessing it hasn't been touched since 2002. There is a pot in under there somewhere, and the roots have...

Thanks ! I'm not used to growing in anything, I've only taken on care of these ones in the last few weeks.
