Hello everyone, I have bought an orchid in France, but do not know which family it belongs to. Can anyone help me identify it please? Photos here: Does anyone know what this orchid is? Classifying an orchid..

It does indeed and in fact I saw one almost identical at the St Louis orchid show a couple of weeks ago and asked that question myself to the vendor ...answer was a nobile

Hi Mingo, welcome to Orchidboard.

That orchid is a nobile type Dendrobium. In order to have it flower again you need to reduce watering in the winter and keep it in a cooler spot.

Looks a lot like 'Red Emperor' to me.
