Nice. I like the Paphiopedalum the best.
 
Very nice. The other might be a Zygopetalum I don't know the genus very well and there are some hybrids out there to confuse things. But it might be Zygopetalum mosenianum. Zygos are usually very fragrant.
 
Thanks.

It doesnt smell though.

Thank you for the kind comments, Pondboy.

If it isn't aromatic (extremely) then I doubt it's a zygo. It's probably one of the gazillion Odontoglossum Alliance plants, including all sorts of complex intergeneric hybrids. Some people have spectacular collections of them.
 
cool in my new house they are leaving a massive orcid with white flowers

good pictures star
 
Oooh, is that orchid going to be yours, tree terror? If its not, I will happily have it.

Do you know how to look after it? It will be a shame to get an orchid-a very impressive orchid if you dont know how to look after it?
