The picture is of an orchid hybrid, with either Dendrobium bigibbum or Dendrobium compactum as parent plants. They are often called "Phalaenopsis type Dendrobiums" alluding to the round flower outline similar to many Phalaenopsis orchids. Without seeing the plant's growth habit, I cannot tell which parent was used.
