Not the best lighting but I'm hoping someone might recognize them. I took the photos 10-12 years ago when visiting the Conservatory at the San Diego Botanical Gardens but never learned the identities.

#1 - I enlarged the third photo to give a closer view of the bloom

The second maybe Neofinetia falcata with flowers not quite open?

First one, I cheated and used Google Lens. Whistling Lockhartia longifolia.

Thanks so much Lucy! I have no idea how to use Google Lens. *Blush* I almost ordered a Wind Orchid (Vanda falcata) a year or so ago. Neofinetia falcata is now considered a synonym. I knew it looked familiar but for the life of me I couldn't remember the name.

Lockhartia is a new one to me and it appears that many of them look alike. I will just label my photo as Lockhartia since I can't be certain of the species.

Thank you so much! Thumbs up

Glad you figured it all out. Guess I have to go change more plant tags. Smiling
