Hello,
I am turning to all of your expertise to help me identify these 2 orchids. I purchased them and they were tagged 'exotic orchids' which does not help at all.

The first one looks similar to vuyl Melissa brianne dark, but the bottom
Petal is more speckled.

The second is a maltoniopsis but I cannot find the name of this exact plant.

I greatly appreciate any help!

Nice Orchids! Lovey dubby I am afraid I can't do any better.

Anyone ?

I just image-googled your Miltoniopsis, a few times I thought I was close, but nothing really fit.

The Vuylstekeara is now a Miltonidium, but I am still not finding a match.

Regarding the Vuylstekeara- our OCE/Big Bill has been spending some time with it and he said
"It is not Melissa Brianne. That is a much fuller flower.
The Wiz has twenty plus images posted of Beallara Marfitch. A couple have slender segments and darker color.
Marfitch is Charles M. Fitch x Oncidium Fermat. That could be it??"

Thank you to you both! I don't think it is beallara Marfitch. Any other guesses?
