New Clueless and unsure of health

[wrighty.uk.gorl]

Hi all as the title say i am new and clueless. A few years ago i had a few attempts at keeping orchids and lets just say it really did not go well at all.

Well yesterday i was given a orchid and it got sentimentle value and really dont want to lose it. The problem is it already dont look to great to me.

I have hunted the internet high and low and there is so much out there but people views vary so much. Then i come across this site.

Be great if some one could also tell me what it is

Thanks all ian

Interesting the photos are showing my end ?

Try downsizing them and uploading again. I have no trouble uploading 1500 X 1200 pix.

My mistake was using my link not the public link from drop dox.

Based on the pics, it looks like you have a perfectly healthy and happy orchid!

I've been having trouble with linking to Dropbox because of size of the photos. I've had more success "attaching" the photos instead, try that next time and I think they will be re-sized for easier viewing. That has been my experience, anyway.

Cheers and Cheers that what i like to hear. Do you know what it is called so i can research it etc.

The genus is Phalaenopsis. Due to how many thousands of hybrids there are it's impossible to get the grex or hybrid name from a picture. All Phal hybrids will respond to the same general culture requirements.

You have a Phalaenopsis.
