None of us can give you the name of which Den. exactly you have. HD and other home retail stores get in a mix of hybrids and sometimes actual species orchids. I advise you to go back to the HD nursery and find the individual that handles ordering the orchids & tropical plants and see if they possibly know or can give you the contact information of the nursery they order from. Or look to see if they have another exact plant with an attach tag too give you ideal of what cross it might possibly be. in your quest

Bons, it's hard to give an accuate name dendrobium is a large genus of tropical orchids that consists of about 1200 species. So many of the orchids at the depot do not come with tags. You could call the vendor, give them the store location, describe the flower and ask them if they can give you a name of the orchid. It is very possible that they came from Delray Plants. You should be able to contact the plant buyer in the garden center for a contact number.
