Ascocentrum aurantiacum  produces bright orange erect bottle brush like flower spikes. A dwarf grower, this should be grown in a small basket or slotted pot. Growing media needs to be open and well drained. Similar to Asco garayi but comes from the Philippines

Brassavola digbyana fimbripetala   Fls to 15cm, green white, lip very fringed, fragrant. Grow as for Cattleya.

Dendrobium anosum var Huttonii  This is a long caned deciduous species that requires a dry rest in winter. With the start of new growth, lots of water and fertiliser will promote long canes and more flowers, which are produced in pairs at the nodes.

Dendrobium parishii A deciduous species similar to  Dendrobium rhodopterygium. A small basket with lots of water and fertiliser as the new growths appear and the flowers fall will produce large stout canes for the next flowering.

Dendrobium sladei  A grastidium section species from New Guinea. The long graceful leafy canes bear cream flowers to about 3 cm across at the leaf axils. Does well on a mount or in a small basket warm to intermediate grower.
Eulophia quartiniana A deciduous plant with above ground or partly buried bulbs and large showy flowers to 4cm, rose pink lip. Terrestrial, requires a humus rich media, good drainage and a dry rest once the leaves have fallen.

Eulophiella roempleriana  A magnificent species that looks more like a climbing Phaius. A large basket or narrow trough & spaghnam moss is the recommended media (spagh/isolote 50/50 seems to work.) The pseudobulbs can be well apart. It may be more of an intermediate grower, not liking hot or dry conditions.
