Which species does that?

Please do.  It is Dendrobium Compactum Gouldii x Udom Blue.  The other
dendrobium I'm afraid I do not have an id for.  And though I did upload an
image of it to my briefecase (http://briefcase.yahoo.com/gardengrl911) I
understand that there is over 1000 species in this family, which means that
there are lord knows how many hybrids and mine surely is one of them.  But I
do not believe it to be anything fancy, as it is a HomeDepot plant.  Anyway,
both dendrobium images are there, in the folder accordingly named "Indoor
Obsession".  I uploaded the pictures of when they looked good, and the way
they look now with the yellowing leaves.  I sincerely hope that you share
your thoughts with me.

Fortune,
Mariana
