Identification of an Orchid
Hi, I rencently bought 2 orchids. The one is a Brassia Rex and another Orchid that doesn't have a name tag (picture attached). Could anyone tell me what it is please and how to care for it. It has wilted dreadfully and appears to be dying and I'm quiet alarmed and at a loss of what to do.

Looks more like an amaryllis to me... Maybe a better picture would help. We aren't going to be identify it without a tag, but perhaps we could come close enough to help you keep it alive.

That's an amaryllis, not an orchid. It grows from a bulb.

I think the fact that it closely parallels the center post of the window frame makes it look atypical The strap-like leaves are also partially visible. I have a number of amarylises. Sometimes the flowers are staggered a bit; it depends on the variety, light, conditions, etc. It certainly isn't an orchid. J. Del Col |
