Default orchid (houseplant) help!

Hi,

I was given an orchid as a present about 2 years ago and it flowered but
since then i have not been able to get it to flower again. I think i have
been feeding it too much!

The problem is that i'm not sure what sort it is, it didnt have a tag in the
pot and the person who bought it hasnt got a clue what it was! It has quite
long narrow leaves (about 2.5cm wide, 60-70 cm long), and would have been
bought in a garden centre, not from a specialist orchid place.

Any ideas what it might be? From pictures on the web i have been thinking
Cymbidium. Unfortunately i cant remember what the flower looked like (was so
long ago!!).

If i'm not sure of the type, what can i try and do to get it to flower
again?
