Bulb shape like a dendro or maybe epidendra, but flower?

[jrguevar]

Hello all,

I would appreciate if anyone could give any hint on what I have found for an orchid.
Thanks in advance!

It would help if you posted pictures of the rest of the plant.

The leaves please. This shape is typical of several genera.

[voyager]

Dendrobiums are native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Australia, the Indonesian archipelago, and many other Western Pacific islands.
I am open to correction, but to my understanding there are no Dendrobiums native to the Americas.

That may not help much other than to exclude possibilities.

[Orchid Whisperer]

There are some Dendrobiums that have escaped cultivation in the Americas/Caribbean region.

As others have said, a view of the whole plant would help.

[Optimist]

I was going to suggest Dendrobium canaliculatum but I looked again. That is not right.

It looks like barkeria obovata. A pic of the whole plant would help a lot.

the plant is really wrecked up, the journey didn't suit her well, roots are quite bad, but the bulbs haven't shriveled that much so maybe its possible a slight and slow recovery... I once had a barkeria which perished some years ago, and looking at some old pictures I had from it leaves are quite similar long and pointy. Couldn't find one pic from when they gave it to me though hope this ones help some

I think Katrina nailed it, Barkeria obovata.

Don't worry about the appearance of the plant... Barkerias lose their leaves after they bloom, sit there as bare canes much of the year, then leaf out and bloom again. Don't be quick to cut the old inforescence - the tip will die but it is really hard to tell how far down the dead part is. I have had the "Oh s**t" experience cutting into live tissue enough times that I don't... when the new growth is putting out a new spike, the dead part of the old one will snap off easily - but the lower part of the cane is very much alive. And they absolutely must dry out - I either mount, or put them in plastic baskets with no medium at all. They can tolerate (and probably even need) considerable drying-out so don't worry about humidity either, just water every day or two in summer, maybe 2-3 times a week in winter.

Barkerias are closely related to Epidendrum.
