Habenaria rhodocheila flowering and Cymbidium dayanum alba

My Habenaria rhodocheila finally opened its last flower so I could take a shot of it in full glory. This one has done well for me in Rockhampton and I am looking forward to seeing how large the new tuber growth is once it goes dormant. Recently I picked up a small but flowering size Cymbidium dayanum alba on ebay. It came in the post with buds on and one of its flowers has since opened. Spike length is what I would expect from a young first bloomer - short and awkward, but given a few more years I am sure it will produce much nicer, longer and arching spikes of many many flowers each.

A no-ID Dendrobium and my Habenaria regnieri

A few months back my wife came home from a garage sale with a single Dendrobium cane, handed it to me and said she thinks it's an orchid... I stuck it to a bottlebrush tree wood mount with some sphagnum moss and left it to do its own thing. A couple of weeks later it shot out a new growth which rocketed to about 50 cm. Recently this Dendrobium sent out a beautiful display of pink blooms. I have no idea what the hybrid is, but it is quite showy.

In addition, I am currently awaiting the first blooms from my Habenaria regnieri. I plan to cross this primary hybrid with Habenaria medusa to introduce some interesting lip detail (hopefully). I will update the photo below with one for the opened bloom before I pollinate it.
