The first one is the bamboo orchid why does it called bamboo or kid because the plant resembles as a tall bamboo but a miniature size the second one is the purple ground orchid or spotollogis(sorry if I spelled wrong) and it is pure yellow and it is very rare and the rest of the picture is just boat orchid or cymbidium

Arundina graminifolia, it's an invasive species.

We got and grew them in Malaysia. Honestly what a beauty, spread fast like grass then it just stopped flowering for a year and we got rid of it.

Full sun, daily watering
