I found it at Costco! Relatively cheap as orchids go but I'm having trouble figuring out what kind it is because there was no identifier with it. Right now, I've got it sitting on my kitchen table where it gets a lot of bright light. From what I know, that's what most orchids need--not direct sun, but lots of bright light. I really like its color--a nice, soft purple instead of the much more common brilliant fuchsia.

Lovely color! I grew up in Silver Spring but didn't begin to garden seriously until I moved to Southern California, Zone 9. The only houseplants I have now are orchids but I've never been able to make them re-bloom.

Hi. I've not yet been able to get an orchid to rebloom either. I think it's hard to do ;)

I think you have a dendrobiun orchid. I can't tell which variety, but it is pretty.

Thanks, Patricia! I agree--I had come to that conclusion after looking at more info and pictures.

It's a Dendrobium hybrid. They're sturdy plants, but they need bright light, and a dormant period in winter when their water is reduced.
