5. Hint: A pink Pleurothallid from Ecuador, with a sensitive and mobile lip.
6. Hint: It is a Florida native which looks like bird beaks.

Wouldn't ahve a clue for the first 2 as I don't do paphs or phrags.
The last one looks to me like a Scaphosepalum swertifolium. But I don't recall the lips on those being mobile.
...the red bud Pleurothallid isn't a Scaphosepalum...
I think this game is a little to hard
The first three are Paphiopedilum species.
1. Second largest species of Paphiopedilum
2. Second smallest flowering Paphiopedilum
3. A multi-floral species with hairy flowers
The third is a miniature Brazilian Cattleya species
Fourth is a Pleurothallid with a touch sensitive, mobile lip
Fifth is NOT an asparagus... The flowers are red, and native to Florida

It's interesting, but a bit too hard for me!
is 3rd Paphiopedilum platyphyllum? Paphiopedilum stonei var. latifolium? I'm not sure if they are the same thing or not?
If it has hairy flowers then Paphiopedilum victoria-regina (chamberlainianum)?
Quick O/T regarding Paph platyphyllum / stonei var. latifolium which one is more correct so to speak or more commonly used?
