Default What kind of orchid is this?

I was wondering if anyone could identify this particular orchid. I didn't purchase it at a gas station, but close. There isn't a tag. Sorry that my picture isn't the best quality.

Generally speaking, its a Dendrobium orchid, I have no idea of the specific type though. I'm sure others will be able to make an educated guess for you on that!

I agree, a dend. Does anyone know if this is what you would call a phal type dend?
Nice color by the way!

The blooms don't look like phal type dend.

It is a dendrobium...
it is an antelope typed dend
perhaps it may have some phalaenopsis dend in it

Thank you all for your replies. I thought it was a dendrobium, but I'm new at this and wasn't quite sure.

The color is more deep dark purple than red. I loved the unusual dark color and that's why I bought it.

What is the difference in care between antelope or phalaenopsis type? Anything special?
