A new orchid

Hi Everyone,

I just went to a local orchid fair and came back with 15 new orchids (I won four of them in a raffle). Anyways I bought an unusual looking orchid the vendor said that it was a phal and hand wrote me a tag that says phal cornu-cernii. I get the feeling that this is not the correct name. The orchid has firm long leaves like a phal but are a light green. I was told that it never stops blooming though it slows down in January and Febuary. Right now it has two spikes that are thick and kind of zigzag. The bloom is about a centimenter big light yellow with brown speckles. I will get a picture up asap. I am treating it the same as the phal right now but I don't want to hurt it.
