Default NOID dendrobium

I photographed this dendrobium (species I expect) at the Montreal Botanical garden. No tag on the plant and I cannot find out what species it is. Does anyone recognize it? Sorry for the blurry pics but hand-held at 1/15 second you can only do so much!

With the non-resupinate (up side down) flowers I would say what you have is a Polystachya & not a Dendrobium. I don't know which species though

How cool is that ... once again an OB member has shared in their knowledge of orchids...this is new to me a non-resupinate...

No clue. But one thing I do know is 1/15th second is the worst timing for exposures - even if you have VR or equivilant.

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.)

Thanks Gongora...Polystachya...they did have a couple more of those at the Botanical garden...however, after about an hour of searching, I still can't ID it.
