The problem is you need them to be in flower for proper ID. I can give you genera but not individual species due to the fact so many look similar till they flower.

Afrodisa: oh so close! You got me excited because I thought you got some--- lol close enough.
7 Is actually D. cucumerinum and 34 is D. jenkinsii. 38 Is not a stelis as far as I know, could have been a stelis in the past but reassigned. It is a pleurothalid though. Are you a dendrobium buff? Nice.
Orchidguy: 3 is a close relative so I'll give it to you: cirrhopetalum tingabarnium.
If I recall correctly, I only have three in the bulbophyllum alliance. The majority of my orchids are dendrobiums as well as members in the pleurothallid alliance.

Couldn't see the bumps on the pickles in that small photo :>}.
Grew orchids for 40+ years til Isabel destroyed my greenhouse and most of my plants. I slowly shifted from "everything orchid" in the early 60's to species only over the years, the smaller the better . Ended up doing dends, pleuros, & bulbos mainly. Only have one orchid now, a Liparis plicata - it hangs in the kitchen window over the sink. Lots of pictures of plants I had but no heart or $$ left to rebuild the collection.
Am just getting back into carnivorous plants - at least they can be grown from seed in a year or so. Have sowed several dozen species of seeds in June - half of which have sprouted and are ready for potting up (seeds were in the fridge since 2004-2005 before the greenhouse went away). Drosera admirabilis seed actually sprouted in 10 days.

Sorry to hear about the GH being lost.
Yeah I can tell alot of them are Small Dens, but most of them have been reclassified too if you check. Den Rigidum is no longer a Den. I have the same plant and it has since changed too. Cirrhopetalum went away for the most part too. There has been alot of reclassification over the years I cannot keep up. They moved Schicumberkia, many of them to new classifications. It is all a mess with so many different species. I love the small growing species and seriosuly would love to trade sometime.
I admitedly am not that good yet to look at them out of flower and tell species. I have two different edpidendrums ( I think that is what they are) both look identical out of flower but the flowers are totally different. Same growth habits and all.
