Doritis from 2 angles
Cryptochilus lutea, I have a sanguinea that i've had for years that has never bloomed. maybe it's cousin will inspire it!
Paph compot from Peter H., thanks Pete!
Scelochilus saccatum
Kiefersteinia candida, 2 view of this hard to photo flower
Tolumnia disaster. i took some plants, they've grown with the roots intermingled so they're a big mass, to judging for ID. One of the student judges said they were "perfectly grown". On the way home I left them in the car for a few hours, fried tolumnia!
I'm hoping some survive.

Thanks. I cut off about 5 spikes (3 of them desperation/survival spikes I think) and have my fingers crossed.

Can someone tell me if this is an orchid?
the baby "Scampini' and why she may be going to a shelter.

Oh, what an adorable kitty. :smitten: You can't really mean you'd take her to a shelter....she's just doing what cats do.

She's just a terror running around knocking things over and harrassing one of the other cats. Plus we already have 2 and just took her in because the owner was going to throw her to the streets!

are't Epipactis sometimes called an invasive orchid?

I thought Epipactis helleborine had purplish color but when I check on IOSPE there are purplish and pale green shown. There are also 3-4 other species that look similar but helleborine is the only one listed as North American. I took a couple home to examine in depth.

Yes, I would say it is Epipactis helleborine. I think they vary a bit in colouration. The one in your photo looks like the ones we have here now. And yes, it is invasive. Not North American, but European. An intrduced species many years ago - I think originally from the Eastern States somewhere.

IOSPE says early european colonists brought it to USA as a cure for the gout!
