I wouldn't know an orchid from a petunia.

If all those pictured are orchids, why does the purple one look
different from the one tied to a tree....??

Because there are lots and lots of different orchids. Many are clearly alien
life forms pretending to be pretty or interesting flowers until their numbers
are sufficient to allow them to take over the earth and eat whatever humans
manage to survive the final battle.

Just bein' nosy....
Any neighbors/friends have any success growing fruit trees of any kind...??

Some people in SoCal (yard sale giver's neighbors, unfortunately not
horticulturally sophisticated) have fruiting papaya trees and some tropical
fruit tree that I don't recognize. The fruit was green, about the size of a
mango but with pointed ends, and clustered around the central stem. Leaves
were kind of palm-frondy, sprouting from the top of the tree, but otherwise
not at all like palm fronds. Definitely not mangos -- I've seen mango trees
in Mexico.
