It looks like the one in your avatar so I'll guess it's Something johnnygreenthumb?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

It's a Dendrobium of some sort. Do not let it see you sleeping, Dends are evil, malicious creatures, you never know when they will turn on you.

Better picture
Here is a better pic of this "evil" Dend 
I hope this helps with a name. Right now it's just one of the "mutts" that I have.  |

Very nice one! I think its a healthy Dend. Good luck with the ID though. They are often hybrids, and hybrids without tags are 98% incapable of being named.
I wish they had a taxonomic key to all orchids, hybrids and species.

Great looking dend. There is such a wide variety of species and hybrids 1500+, lets hope someone in our community can help you with a name. If all else fails Dend. Johnnygreenthumb works. I think we all have a noid or two in our collections.

There are soooo many dens that come from overseas that either has no name or it has been lost. Most of them I have seen like at Walmart just has a tag saying "orchid". My advise is if you like something, you should get it no matter if it has a name or not. Orchids are for you...not for judges...LOL

Definitely a Dendrobium. There are so many out there that look identical though that I wouldn't put a name on it. If you like it just enjoy it as a noid or do like I did and give it away to a new member in your local club. They will be thrilled to have it and won't care that it doesn't have a tag.
