Orchids seen at the Conservatory in ABG during my visit in October, 2018. Similar to the earlier I posted which was identified by Pankaj Ji as Pleurothallis.

On google it does look like Pleurothallis titan (Orange variant) and it is present at Atlanta Botanical Garden.

Thanks and regards

Pankaj

I dont think these are all one species.

IMG_20181019_171849472.jpg & IMG_20181019_171831100.jpg are different

61-62 are different species.

There are so many species. Cant confirm the species sorry but the large rounded leaves look like Pelurothallis cordithallis.

Pankaj Ji,

Thanks for pointing out.

The leaves in two images did look a bit different, with pointed ends.

Regards,

Aarti
