What kind of plant is this?
 

Hello,

This NG has helped a couple of times in the past, so I thought I'd try this
one.
My wife's birthday today, and my daughter gave her this:

I guess it's an orchid, but what sort?? If I know the name, I may be able to
find out how to care for it, like how
often to mow it, etc.....
Hope someone can help,

Dave (brownfingers).

I think it's a Phaelenopsis (sp?). Fairly easy to care for. The Expert
Book Series (Dr. Hessayon) now produce an Orchid Expert Book which gives
straight forward advice, and I suggest you invest in as orchid growing is
very infectious.
