The common name for Phalaenopsis is "moth orchid". Go to a real

plant.

Yep, that's it.



Double check to be sure.

In another post you wrote
"It does have a tag. The tag says, "DEN. JAQ-ARUNSRI" in big letters,
and "WK-08-06 TB.1335" in tiny letters. That's all it says.

I looked up the picture on the Internet and it seems to be a
Phalaenopsis."

You seems to be indicating there that it was tagged as a dendrobium.
Phals and Dends take much different care.



You also said that the growth isn't in the form of a rosette of leaves, but
that the leaves are about every inch along a vertical 'rhizome'. In orchid
terminology, that is called a pseudobulb, and since phalaenopsis (moth)
orchids do not have pseudobulbs, I would also say that you have a
dendrobium.
