Default Aerides & Angraecum
A pic of 2 of my taller growing plants. Aerides lawrenceae and Angraecum eburneum ( 2 spikes )
I think they seem to be growing well.

Nice collection! None of my Angraecoids gets that large except perhaps Anraecum florentum.

Wow, Roy. Those are nice. Are they old plants or do they always grow big like that? I have put both of them on my wish list. What color is 'Lawrence'? I saw a picture of one with dark pink flowers that I would like to get. Beautiful!

The plants are a few years old. Both came from much larger plant as aerials. I have had them for about 5 years and they have about doubled their size.
The Aerides is the variety Sanderiana and here is the flower.

A follow up to the original pic is the Angraecum in flower at a local show this weekend. The background isn't great, sorry.
