Kind of tree orchids?

Would anyone be able to identify the type of tree orchids these are?





Thanks in advance

 

Hi Hadeda, as this is primarily a temperate zone forum (but not exclusively, that's what makes it interesting:D) it would be nice to know where these photo's where taken? and also any other details which might be useful for identification

They are very pretty though

 

Hi Aesculus :D

These are located in my garden which is in a Subtropical area. It is a Zone 10 area. Funny enough for such nice flowers they don't require too much care, just a squirt of water here and there

Thanks :D

 

Orchids are one of the largest group of plants with upwards of 26,000 recognised species.

Many grow naturally like this on trees and are known as epiphytic orchids.
I cannot be positive but it resembles Dendrobium.

There are 1200 species of these.

Possibly one such as Dendrobium lituiflorum.

Want one!!

 

Yep I've been looking around and I'd agree with Dendrobium:WINK1: and I'd go with the species you picked as well although I feel daunted every time I look at Orchids

 

Thanks a million This definitively seems to be a Dendrobium lituiflorum :D
