Picked up 2 new orchids at home depot and need help ID'ing them if anyone
can recognize them.


http://katkom01.home.comcast.net/ufops.jpg A light greenish yellow
Phaleonopsis roughly 2 inches across. In the picture the petals look yellow
but they definitly have a greensih overtone to them. If viewed from the back
the petal looks predominatly green with a yellow overtone.It s as if the
front is teansparent yellow andthe back is transparent green.

The first is a Phal. What hybrid out of the hundreds is hard to
say... try impossible.

The second is a Dendrobium probably a hybrid.

I agree with Susan about the second photo - almost certainly a Dendrobium hybrid
in the Phalaenanthe Section.
