Sounds like a Phalaenopsis to me.

Try the following culture sheets:

Ours has done very well, largely by accident. It has been on a
warm but not hot, south facing but blocked by buildings, window
ledge and has been watered erratically with rain water and even
more erratically fertilised using dilute Miracle Grow (in the
summer only, and only a few times then).

My understanding is that quite of lot of ephiphytic orchids are
very tough (against neglect) but absolutely cannot take cold, wet
conditions. But I am no expert.
