Depends on what kind... I have three different kinds and they seem to last 2-3 weeks on 1, and about a month on the others. Yes, weather and conditions in general makes a big difference. I also try not to move them around during a bloom. Since they come sequentially, often the next flower is imminent. I have a few of the alba-type and they open more than one flower at a time for me. My friends (those that are non-obsessive about orchids) like psychopsis so much I've started giving them as 'gift' orchids to them. With some instructions, people seem to be able to take care of them OK.
