Leopard orchid - what now?
 

OK, about a month ago I bought myself Leopard Orchid, and it is in a
pot indoors. I followed all the instructions and it was jolly nice.
But now, as expected, the flowers are starting to curl up and drop
off, and I can see that pretty soon I will be left with just a spike.

So what do I do to get it flowering again? Should I trim the spike
off, or will the next set grow on the old one?

What's a Leopard Orchid? Is it the Ansellia from Africa? The one from
Australia? Something else all together?

Dunno - the label just says "Orchidee", which I suspect is less than
helpful.
