Orchid Identification - How to?
 
4 Attachment(s)
Hi, I found this plant that came from an office and put it in my bay window with good afternoon sun and started to water it. A couple days ago it began to open up.
Pretty sure it's an Orchid, but not sure of a name or identification, how can I find out?
Thanks,
Burken63

You are correct.That is a Phalanopsis hybrid. On the left hand side of the screen you will see "forums" go to the Phalanopsis section and at the top you will see a "sticky" with care instructions. And, welcome!

that is a phalaenopsis. You can watch Missorchidgirl's tutorial on youtube on how to care for them :)

Welcome to the Orchid Board! That is a beautiful flower.

We also have a sticky thread here dealing with Phalaenopsis care:
The Phal abuse ends here.

And here is one way to tell whether the medium is still damp in the center of the pot:
Using skewers to determine when to water

As others have pointed out, yours is a Phalaenopsis hybrid. It can't likely be identified further. Phals are among the easiest orchids to grow while being extremely rewarding with their blooms. Good luck!

Thanks for all the great and motivational answers to my little flower question, I do believe I will be acquiring more Orchids and start my own family!!!
Awesome information, Great Forum!

In the future, if you get an orchid that has no identification, here is a really great site to help you:
