Default Love at first sight!

I found this orchid at a store and fell in love with it. I have no idea what it is or how to care for it. Any ideas or tips would be great!

It's a Zygopetalum hybrid. There are lots of information available on the web as to its culture needs

Yes, as Jorch says, it is a Zygopetalum. These are usually quite vigorous in growth and easy to care for plus a very nice fragrance. Enjoy!

I fall in love every time I see the Zygo's but have never gotten one...too scared to. I've heard that watering is a real delicate, balancing act and as well, nighttime temps here in summer, aren't cool enough for them. Otherwise, I'd have one in a heartbeat. You've got yourself a beautiful plant!

Enjoy!
