hi and welcome to the forum.
i also think that it would be a good idea if we knew what sort of orchid you are talking about.
As kmarch has asked Quote]Is there a tag in it? Was it in bloom when you received it? If so maybe take a look at the orchid identification thread and see if there's anythign there that looks like it.
As it is hard to tell with out more information.
