I have just purchased my first orchid but all the label said was 'Orchid' which is a great help !
Please could anyone tell me what is the full name of this orchid?

It's a moth orchid (Phalaenopsis hybrid). And a very nice one, I might add.

Hi Oakey, just about no chance. There are zillions of Phal. hybrids because the industrial growers know that the moth orchid is very pleasing to the customer in the street and is also easy to maintain during the blooming period. The growers also keep trying to improve the appearance of the plant; larger blooms,attractive colours, etc. by continuous hybridising. Just enjoy it!

Bill
