What a beautiful orchid! I think it is a dendrobium but I will give you a link to a site that identifies the most common orchids:

I agree with leafmite, a dendrobium and it's very pretty!

I think it could be either Dendrobium kingianum, or a hybrid of that. Can't tell exactly but it certainly looks like something of that nature.

^ yea, I agree with Rosie and Whiterabbit, probably a hybrid of Den. kingianum (not sure if kingianums come in other colors other than the usual purple?)

Judging by the size of the plant and the flowers I'd wager it's Dendrobium x delicatum--a natural hybrid between D. kingianum and D. speciosum...

I was going to add that speciosum comes in the white / cream / yellow shades -- and with gazillions of flowers and spikes when fully mature -- either kingianum, speciosum, or a hybrid therewith, you should water and feed lots during the growing season, and bright cool dryish winter "rest" until spikes are an inch or so long -- then water only until blooming is over, and new growth begins from the base.
Happy growing
Rex
