I vote phalenopsis.
Find some photos online and see what you think.


i found (very few) photos with some leaves on bigorchid.com,
& yes, it does look a lot like those.
it's currently in a northeast facing window, but i can move
it to a southeast window or under the lights in the fall.
i think i will repot it just because i don't know what
exactly it's potted in. it looks like regular potting soil
under a layer of the moss & the pot doesn't have much
drainage.
i see that clear pots are recommended. the orchids i had many
years ago were in clay pots. is being able to see the roots an
advantage over clay's drainage ability & breathability?

It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.
