Miniature Dendrobium
This plant is 6 inches tall and the tallest spike is 10 inches. It has more spikes forming so it should be in bloom for a long time. Unfortunately it is NOID. I would really appreciate it if someone could identify it for me. Thanks, Bill

Absolutely right... impossible to ID... there may be hundreds of similar hybrids... the closest you can get is Dendrobium Hybrid Phalaenopsis type... |

It's probably a hybrid involving Den affine (syn dicuphum) ... regular form not alba form. Den affine is very round, with purple center, but lip is a little pointed. To get the rounder lip & petals, Den bigibbum is probably involved. The petal color could be washed out by the affine, as happened in the attached photo of Den Hisako Haraguchi (which also has Den affine as parent).
However, this only gets you closer. If you need a name, you need to buy a plant with a proper name tag.

It's kind of like asking "what breed is my stray cat?"
Easiest answer?
"100% purebred cutie patootie"
