BRSDM (Brassidium) is an intergeneric cross between Brassia and Oncidium, so definitely not a Vanda. I don't grow them myself (too big for my growing area) but I found a recommendation for "Fly Away": bright, indirect light and intermediate temperatures.

"Aer" is Aerides, so first cousins to Vanda and grown warm, humid and with bright light (but not direct sun).

"Colm" is Colmanara which is a intergeneric hybrid between Miltonia, Odontoglossum and Oncidium. I'd grow it like Brassidium, unless you find something more specific for "Colm Catatante".

"Wils" is Wilsonara, an intergeneric hybrid between Cochlioda, Odontoglossum and Oncidium. I'd grow it like the Brassidium but maybe a bit cooler - the Cochlioda component is cooler growing.

Hope that helps.

Where I have them now is in bright, very bright shade. They get twi hours of direct light though but I had my phals in the same spot withoit problems.
