Default Ping Bob Hobden - Orchid

Bob, here is the pic of the orchid that I couldn't identify. The
question was, how can I take care of it so that it flowers again next
year? I was given this on 5th February, my birthday and it still
looks as good as new.

This is a Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchid) if I'm any judge.

"Grow in theshade, in a hot greenhouse, or on a draught-free window sill in
a house or conservatory, maintaining a high level of humidity" (Readers
