Default Identification?

As the ladies have said, a Dendrobium. Certainly a lot of D. bigibbum
(previously known as D. phalaenopsis) in it, but no telling what else.

If (like me) you *really* want to put a tag on it, call it Dendrobium bigibbum
hybrid, then just enjoy it.

There are so many Dends that look like that. There's an unregistered (I
think) mass produced Den called simply "MC" that is a miniature and looks
just like yours. Home Depot sells them all the time. I believe they come
from Kerry Bromeliads. They are very lovely, actually, and stay small.

But really, no way to say for sure.

Could one of you help me with the identification of this orchid. White
petals and red lip. The flower is about 25mm across. It looks like a
miniature. I picked it up at a plant shop for free, but no tag for
identification. Being new at this wonderful hobby, I thought I would ask
those in knowledge.

Thanks,
Chuck.


Its a dendrobium
