Thought this was a Dendrobium, is it even an orchid?

[Foogoo]

I've had this one for a good few months now and always assumed it was a Dendrobium, until I realized tonight its stem doesn't have the "cane-like" appearance. Any ideas? Could it even not be a orchid? Thanks.

It's an orchid alright - white aerial roots with green growing tips a dead giveaway. Looks like a Den to me.

I was under the impression Dendrobiums had the thicker, caney stalks. But maybe not. Thanks for the input!

There are different types of dendrobiums. I'm not an expert on dendrobiums...but I believe if you check further, there are cane dendrobiums, antelope dendrobiums and phalenopsis type dendrobiums (which yours looks like to me). Maybe one of the Dendrobium growers will chime in to give a better explanation.

A Den....with flowers it seems

I can't really see the flowers, but it looks more like an epidendrum to me.

Its most likely a epidendrum radicans hybrid or a similar hybrid. Known as Crucifix orchids.
