    I would guess it is a Dendrobium phalaenopsis hybrid. Which particular hybrid is a bit more difficult to answer. It actually looks like two different ones. There are dozens of them. My favourite is quite similar: Dendrobium phalaenopsis "Polar Fire".

    Dendrobium phalaenopsis is not Dendrobium X Phalaenopsis.
    "Phalenopsis" means mothflower. So there is a Dendrobium with a mothflower (this plant) and then there is the genus actually called Phalaenopsis.
    The flower on this one would look like your Phalaenopsis, but it would not necessarily have Phalaenopsis parentage.
    There is a synonym for this plant: Dendrobium bigibbum, which avoids any confusion.
    You were showing two different flowers. To get an idea of the varieties, have a look here:
