You could well be on the money with the Den monophyllum HD

i wouldn't put the tag in the Sarc just yet, there's more spp around than just falcatus, common yes but definitely not the only one around.

Flower it then make the call IMO

Well, I agree with that but I have learned from an oldie at the orchid club that the old flower spikes that turn black are a defining characteristic of falcatus (not to mention the falcate leaves). Here's one I prepared earlier

The pics are a year old now but these plants have been in the tree for 3 years and are growing strong and flowered profusely this year. I used to use old stockings to tie orchids to trees but now now a couple of dabs of liquid nails is standard practice for most epiphytes (another tip I picked up at the orchid club).

Nice pix by the way bullit. Can I suggest you drill a hole in that branch and hang it under a nice tree somewhere breezy. They'll do well like that.

while I'm at it...

This is Laelia gouldiana, a lithophyte from Mexico. It's growing in a really exposed situation at the top of this large rock. Once again the breeze is the key to it's survival. It has no potting mix and I don't even water it or anything.

Great stuff I haev a heap of different orchids I got off a lady in a club she just gave me a box of them I have them around the yard not many have flowered yet. I took your advice HD have them in breezy spots but still protected from full sun. They have been up for a while and all look like they are adding new growth can't wait for some flowers but.

This Zygopetalum is hands down the worlds most fragrant orchid flower, everybody should have one of these in their garden:

Great to see orchid enthusiasts here. Some Great Photos. I couldn't look over this thread without mentioning native terrestrial orchids. Down here in VIC you don't really see epiphytes in the bush, but there are many terrestrial orchids. They are one my favourite plants to grow. Here is some of the shots I've taken of orchids i have growing...

thelymitra jars

thelymitra pauciflora

Here is a Bunch of thelymitra in jars I have on the windowsill. The large ones have been deflasked and are growing some decent sized tubers...

I have just become instantly infatuated with orchids and will soon venture into propagating these amazing beings. ( especially the oncidiums :shroomer: )

Thelymitra fragrans normally flower between August to October. Finding one in flower at this time of year is incredibly unusual, as they should be in dormancy.

It is amazing how much variation there is between individuals of the same species when it comes to most sun orchids.

Nice Photos!

I managed to grow a cracking pot of corybas hispidus in moss that I thought I'ld show off.

This is the pot with the dome on top. Lack of airflow is what makes them flower.

This is the orchids in full flower growing in bush moss.
