Carol, I'm not going to be able to help much in identifying the orchids, however there are some online resources that you can try.

http://www.orchidgeeks.com/forum/newbie-questions/464-orchid-photo-identification-guide.html

Some other websites can be located with Google. Good luck!

i was sent some singapore orchids (the small flowers) that,s all I know them by. The colours were exquisite, deep purple with an aqua throat & a touch of almost irridescent blue. The undersides were all aqua. Could you identify them &
perhaps post a picture. I have never seen colours like this in a flower

I had some singapore orchids sent to me,well what we call the small orchid, the colours were exquisite, like nothing I have ever seen, they were purple with aqua throats & a dash of blue, the undersides & stems were all aqua, can you identify them & perhaps post a picture. Sorry I only know this as singapoe orchids.

Wonderful gallery of such lovely blooms. This is the best variety I've seen, thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for these wonderful photographs. I lived in East Malaysia where I grew a number of these myself. Later I moved to Singapore where I lived for 17 years. I often visited the botanical gardens there and the orchids were always a source of joy to me as are your pictures now.

I just start to collect different types of orchids and when I saw the lovely photographs of your orchids I can't wait therefore I will have to send my money with one of my workmate who will be coming over there for a short training.

Hello there,

I loved your orchids!

I am a Singaporean student currently in Silicon Valley doing my internship and studying in Stanford. My student organization (NUS Entrepreneurs' Association) is co-organizing a National Day party with Singaporean American Business Association and as part of a tribute to Singapore, we are building a photo montage of what makes Singapore, Singapore.

I would like to ask if I can use your photos in this big project. We will definitely acknowledge you as the photographer.

If you are interested, please email me to let me know.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Most sincerely,
Sheryl
