Strip: Help identifying types of wood I have... *LINK* *Pic*

Hello all - so I've posted before that my first strip built started with the purchase of a completed hull and lots of wood strips.

I've figured out the design I want on the deck and have realized I don't have enough of one type of wood - problem is I have no idea what kind of wood it is.

I need more of the Orangish color wood just above the light strip in the picture. Can someone please tell me what it is?

Also, while I'm at it, can you help with the other two I don't know?

- The reddish triangle on the left is Padouk.
- The dark triangle on the right is Peruvian Walnut.
- I think the thin, light strip is Ash. Yes?
- What type of cedar is directly below the Ash?
- And as asked above, what is the Orangish color wood directly above the Ash?

And while I'm at it - how do I post a picture? I tried to do it using Flikr but just kept getting the red X - so I included the link to the pic on Flikr instead.

Thanks a million... Brion
