Burrageara Nelly Isler "Swiss Miss" is the first one. not sure what the second, dark red one is, but i love it!!!. the 3rd with yellow is most likely an Odontiocidium Wildcat variety.

Yeah, I figured that last one was a wildcat. I've seen either the same one or really close to it on a website I buy from. Good to have a name for that first one, even though I figure if I end up losing one, that will be the one. It looked to me like it had Miltonia in it, and I've already sent a Miltonia to permanent dormancy. There were actually two of those at the store yesterday, and the other one would have been the one I would have bought, but when I went back today, it was gone. The dark red one has all of its air roots snipped so it was nice and neat in the container, but the plant is healthy looking, with three flowering plants and six back bulbs, so I think I should be all right with that one.

I almost bought a fourth. I thought it was a Sharry Baby at first, but it was something else with "Heaven's Scent" in the name. Tons of tiny fragrant purplish flowers on large-bulbed plants. I didn't buy it because the plant cluster was massive, and I'm already sort of hurting for space. They had four pots of that type.

See how much restraint I exercised? LOL

i recently got some old back-bulb divisions of Nelly Isler. i was told to keep it out of direct sun at all costs. i am nursing a different Wildcat back to health right now, got one that was almost completely without roots!

I see what you mean. Your suggested Blood Ruby in the top photograph is a gorgeous plant by the way, very healthy. The second one looks very similar to that of another member on this forum:

The lady also did not know what her's was though, but if it appears fairly frequently it would logically have a traceable name. I found this out just by typing 'Oncidium red' into Google images, as it looks a lot like an Oncidium hybrid to me...And just to see what came up.

Sorry, I should have read more of their post, but the users are very sure from that post that it is: Colmnara, Masai Red, which is perhaps the same as your's?

Yup, it sure looks like it. Thanks!

I've been nursing my whole collection back to health this year it seems like. LOL

Well, keep reading my posts in the future. I've got plenty more Noids for you. LOL

Yay,,,. Oh I will.

I believe that it is now 'Oncidopsis' Nelly Isler, and that it likes shade in the summer, and a bit more light in the winter (if in a temperate climate).
