Beautiful and adorable. 
I always love seeing this hybrid. Why do I not have one yet?  |

This is one of my all time favourites! Congrats on a lovely flowering & Super photos!
Yes I too had mine cursed with mealy bugs. I repotted mine 2 weeks ago, I had been treating for MB for quite a few months ...I also found some bugs inside the rim of the pot which I hadn't seen before!
I say repot into fresh medium whenever you decide too and spray all of the plant as well as leave 'it out' and respray a couple hours after before repotting... I couldn't believe there were still some lurking! Hope I've had them all now!

My plant has improved a little over last year when I posted the picture. It has no mealie bugs either Camille. I am still using the oil spray as a maintenance.
I got two spikes this year

Sunflower01, without a picture you won't be able to get any help identifying your plant. And even with the photo nobody would be able to say exactly which hybrid you have, because of the number of very similar plants bred for mass production. If you want to know the name of the orchid you have, I suggest you call the place you bought it from; they might have the information you're looking for. Good luck! |

Both of mine have flowered this year, but the flowers didn't last long on either, not sure why, I'm sure they lasted longer last time.

Rosie, I find that a gentle breeze often helps. When I bring flowering plants indoors they are always of short duration if I don't run a gentle fan in the room.

Phal. Mini Mark 'Holm'
I bought this plant off eBay two years ago. One of my favorites. Haven't had a problem with MB but use insecticide soap once a month as a precaution. Have light stand and windowsill growing conditions. LUV this plant. Blooms regular season.

From the sounds of it, I would think you have a Phal, Pink Girl, If you haven't figured it out yet.
