Oops, forgot to say, Nice Plants! lol You have chosen well, these kind are easy to grow. The biggest trick is learning not to overwater.

First set
Upper left: Phalaenopsis
Upper Right: Cattleya or a hybrid. By the size of the pseudobulbs, it may be an "old world" variety, dating back to prior to breeders trying to shrink the plant so they fit nicely on office desks .
Lower left: Ascocenda or a related variety (or a very young Vanda). If it is related to a Vanda, repot it in a much smaller pot. They dont like being overpotted.
Lower Right: Hard-cane dendrobium (too many hybrids to guess)

Second Set
Upper two: Phalaenopsis
Bottom: Hard-cane dendrobium - although a bit stubby one.

Well, you have your answers, so I will just add that they look really nice. I agree about the overpotting statement above as well.

Cheers,

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .

I did not know that about the Vanda. I will be re potting soon.

Also, thanks for the interesting tidbit on the Cattleya. I have yet to see it in bloom. My friend and I purchased it at a local greenhouse and split it (the plant was huge). When it finally blooms, I will be sure to post the pictures. Maybe then we can determine if it is a hybrid. Though from your description, I kind of hope its not!
