My personal orchid collection. (Pt.2)

vanda mimi palmer.

It's got to be the orchid with the nicest & strongest smell.

cattleya whynot.

dendrobium senile.

tolumnia hybrid (also known as mini oncidium).

Was totally overwhelmed by a series of experiences i faced in the past few weeks, with the final blow knocking me down flat today. Upset, i grabbed Ollie and headed out to the balcony to look for my 11th. Instead i saw this flock of migratory birds flying my way. At first they looked pretty funny, flying totally out of sync, kinda like 4 Stooges (above pic). Eventually they got their act together and continued their journey in a more orderly fashion (below).

I gotta try harder to do the same...

brassavola nodosa

My personal orchid collection.
Am still learning how to identify and classify these amazing plants. I welcome (implore even!) anyone who can assist me in identifying some of these orchids whether by genera or species. Here are some from my personal collection that are currently flowering.
