First two are intergeneric Oncidium hybrids. I believe I saw the first one at Trader Joe's the other day. Someone more familiar with this type of orchid may be able to give you the name of the hybrid genus, but a full positive id may not be possible. The third is a Renanthera of some type, again possibly a hybrid. The fourth looks like a deformed Phalaenopsis, or a Sweet Pea flower. The last is a Brassavola, and could be nodosa, or again a hybrid. What is the source of these plants? For what it's worth the Brassavola most commonly sold in box stores is 'Little Stars', which is a nodosa x cordata hybrid.

That one, at least, is accurate. So 4 isn't an orchid, but it's a strange shape for the Vigna. I thought it wasn't connected to those leaves, as it was hanging from something else.

First photo is a Zygopetalum. Not sure if it's a straight species or a hybrid though. Haven't had Orchids in years.

Silent hill is quite correct .... That first one definitely is a Zygopetalum -- don't believe it is a species, though.
The 3rd is not a Renanthera. It is a Dendrobium. Appears to be one of the legion of den hybrids.
I agree with Sub, the last one is some type of Brassovola but, as he pointed out, you can't assume it is B. nodosa. Nodosa has been used a great deal in hybridizing and some of the hybrids look very much like nodosa.
The 2nd one is indeed a hybrid of the Oncidium Alliance.
Hopefully you will be able to contact someone "in the know" at UCONN. Otherwise, all of the orchids will forever be NoIDs

The first one is Zygopetalum hybrid with Z. crinitum or maculatum. It could be Zygopetalum Mackai . The second is Milt. clowesii or its hybrid. The third it could be any of the thousand Dendrobium hybrids maybe Den. Susan. The forth is the legume vine as mentioned ealier and the last is Brassavola nodosa.
Hope this helps.
