Please help me ID this large specimen

I've had this growing on top of a pot on the side of my house for about 20 years. It grows very long purplish flower spikes, and blooms very reliably every May. Can anybody tell me what it is?

I just picked up a "bag" baby at Home Depot, Dendrobium spectabile.

Can anyone help identify this oncidium(?) for me?

I bought this nice little plant at Home Depot yesterday. Unfortunately, it only came with a generic care tag and no id. Anybody know what it is?
