Can Someone Identify This Orchid

[tim abbott]

This orchid was given to me a year or so back.

Recently it has grown substantially. Can someone tell me what type of orchid it is? I am guessing some type of hardcane dendrobium? It is about 2 feet tall now, would it be a good idea to support the main stem? It seems healthy so I assume no need to repot. I keep my small collection outside under a sheflera tree on the northwest corner of the house, they seem to like the conditions.

I have divided a cattalya (made 3) and an oncidium (made 2)recently after reading info on this board & they seem to be happy. I was pleasently surprised to see a phal developing what appears to be a new spike, it had flowered a couple of months back.

Sorry I see that I forgot to rotate the pictures.

Are you sure you didn't leave it sideways intentionally to see how many people you could get to tilt their heads? heheheh
I vote Dendro

Yup. It's a Dendrobium. The 'stem' or pseudobulb shouldn't need staking, but if it wobbles in its pot, or gets top-heavey, staking it wouldn't hurt. Looks nice and healthy. Good growing!

Can't say for sure but it looks like a phalenopsis type dendrobium. IMHO

It definetly looks like a Dendrobium to me and you might get a spike soon from that cane that growing as soon as it matures. Enjoy it !!!

If it gets flowers then it will be easy to identify it. Nice plant and very healthy
