Orchid Identification

[Mandrew968]

There are a few orchids in the garden that I would love to get named. Maybe some of you orchid experts can help me out? Thanks a bunch!

First up is some species of Vanda... Any guesses?

[Mandrew968]

And here is another; I am interested in the one with the yellow flower, below the Vanda.

[Mandrew968]

This may be the same species as the yellow flowered one, above. I don't know though--it's attached to a large Dypsis decaryi.

[Mandrew968]

This one bloomed a couple weeks back--was purplish pink. I think it's related to Vanda, or a Vanda hybrid..?

Andrew, the first is a Vanda Ascocenda hybrid,the second and third look to be Oncidiums,the last is Vanda Miss Joaquim also a hybrid.It is the national flower of Singapore.The only country to have a hybrid flower as its national flower

Hong Kong also has a hybrid national flower, Bauhinia × blakeana.

But is Hong Kong an independent country? I thought it was just a territory of China?

Man! you guys are the best  thanks a ton!

As with Hong Kong, there is some debate, but if it had its own way, it would be its own Country...
