Phalaenopsis or Moth orchid. These plants are so rewarding when they bloom. Blooms last for weeks and the plant needs minimal care. They like an an east facing window sill, cool nights and warmer days, water once a week by plunging the pot into a basin of water and allow to soak for about ten mins then drain and pop back on the windwo sill. (Orchids prefer 'soft' water so allow the water to to sit for an hour or two before using) fertilize when the plant is not flowering.
