Can someone identify these orchids?

Hello all!

I am a n00b and would like to seek guidance in identifying my butterfly orchids.

The purple one I think is Sogo Vivien, but I could be mistaken. The second one -- two pictures of it -- might be Vanda Tang See Hang, but I am very uncertain about that. The third is totally unknown to me. Hopefully someone can help me identify these beauties.

Nice orchids. They all are phalanopsis. Without the tag it is impossible to say which phal it is.

shavedmonkey, thanks for your reply. :)

I guess I'll just have to wing it, then. Hopefully I will be able to take care of all three of them well enough. :)

Very pretty plants and blooms. They make good house plants. Lots of info on this forum if you just search phalaenopsis.
