Are they hybrids or something?
I'll include a full-plant pic of the two for more detail:

Yellow/Green-

This one was supposed to have more flowers but the rest were broken off before I bought it...

The first is the Dendrobium phalaenopsis type.

The second one is a hybrid of Dendrobium violaceoflavens. I'm not sure what the other parent is. Probably some sort of section Spathulata Dendrobium.

Home depot is the slaughter of the innocence. When it comes to orchids. I promised myself never to buy one from home depot. They get them in. Then let them dry out, then die. The only hybrid I wil buy is a primary hybrid. One cross between two species, thats it!
