I didn't realize that this would turn into such a passionate hobby, so I didn't record the names of the first half-dozen orchids I bought.

The photo is of an orchid reblooming for the first time since I bought it; it took about nine months before it bloomed again, but it was worth the wait.

I'm reasonably certain that it's a rather common orchid, given what I paid for it, but if anyone can help me with an identification, I'd appreciate it.

That is a phalaenopsis, well grown with beautiful blooms! Unfortunately, it will be impossible to identify it further with a hybrid name, there are too many similar plants out there. Thanks for sharing.

It appears to be a Phalaenopsis. Most phal hybrids are near impossible to ID. And even if you had the name tag, with other people pulling out tags to read names and placing them back in the wrong pot or growers/employees not really caring what tag gets placed into the pot it all makes ID really difficult. A better picof the flower would be helpful, not that anyone could absolutely ID it for you.
