Trying To Identify A Type Of Orchid

[Rachelle-lapensee]

I have been trying to track down this orchid but I have no idea what the name of it is and I do not know where I could by one

Can anybody help me??

it's a dendrobium that has been colored with food coloring. they're only available as cut flowers, and only in parts of asia.

looks like a dendrobium,thats for sure.

It is a Dendrobium hybrid of the phalaenopsis type. Your picture is an artificially colored cut flower, as someone else noted, but they are available almost anywhere, not just in Asia.

Definatly not a natural colour, but looks like a Dendrobium Phal Hybrid of some type.

definitely not natural! it is either colored with food coloring or there is a spray that dies the flowers.

when i saw it as your avatar, i thought you had messed with it on photoshop lol

LOL. No not at all... My boyfriend brought home a bouquet of these flowers way before he got me my phal. They were such a neat color I had to take a picture (At that time I did not even know that they were Orchids)... When I got my first phal I realized that the bouquet that I had was a bouquet of orchids so I wanted to find the real plant. unfoutunatly the color is fake . Is there any type of Orchid out there with a similar color???

you could find a purple den
