well it says orchid cactus, but doesn't look like that - likes like some type of Dendrobium ...

Looks like a Dendrobium to me.

Looks somewhat like my Den Polar Fire in shape and pattening, not sure on colour as it's difficult to tell in the pic.

Here is a link to a pic of Den Polar Fire.
Successful market launch: Dendrobium Polar Fire
although even if it looks similar it might not be. There are a lot of Dendrobium hybrids which are not registered, so you could have one that just looks like something else. I don't even think Polar Fire is a registered hybrid, just a trade name for something.

What I think is more certain is that it is a Dendrobium Hybrid which probably has a high influence from Dendrobium phalaenopsis (don't confuse this with a Phalaenopsis orchid which is something different).

Doing a search it seems there is a cactus with the common name of 'Orchid Cactus'. If it were that then it would NOT be an orchid.

But yours does look like a Dendrobium Orchid, so I think the name 'Orchid Cactus' is wrong.

thanks guys.I guess ill keep looking at Den

I really like the purple and green combo

It is Definatly not a Orchid Cacti they are epyphylliums and not anything at all like that.....

its a dendrobium phal type - i have one with the same colors and its lovly - it have canes that are more then 3 food long
