I'm not too crazy about tropical garden plants, so I have no idea what most of them are even called but I enjoyed shooting them! Thanks for looking and enjoy!

This one looks like an orchid and may very well be some kind of a terrestrial orchid.

Geranium, I think.

Weird looking flowers. I guess Hummingbirds are attracted to this plant because of the tubular shaped flowers.

Pansies. Is it?

Dogflower or whatever it is called. I remember seeing them growing in the backyard and playing with the flowers as a kid.

Beautiful! And the one that you thought was a terrestrial orchid is actually a variety of Vanda.

The flowers do resemble those of a Vanda flower. I remember the plants were potted in regular gardening potting soil and the plants had no leaves at all just tall reed like stems which I thought was very strange and didn't look like any orchid plants I have ever seen.

Thanks for all the nice compliments!
