Amazing photos! I live in Florida and learned how to grow orchids on trees. The roots hug the tree and grab their moisture from the air. Amazing and they are all blooming at the same time right now!
There's a bunch of orchid shots on various VM reels, and you can find them on Dave Machin's searchable database. (None of the reels are titled with the word "orchid," though, it's just listed in the captions.) Dave's orchid photos don't match the types in your reel, so Leach must've attended some special show or collection!
Smithsonian does an annual orchid show, usually in conjunction with the U.S. Botanical Garden, but I don't know if their partnership stretches back to the 60s (probably not).

Thank you for sharing!
