Thanks,Lou..I should have been more specific,sorry.I know its Phalenopsis,but wondered if anyone has the name of this variety,by the colour...please don't call me a dipstick..or any other unflattering name...till next time..Lol..

Oh right.........they don't usually have a varietal name Sandra. Orchids are just known by their species...usually......

Thanks Bathgate..I hadn't remembered it was in flower in early June of that year,as ever since,it has started up again about now.It only has one stem this year,but it will go on for a few months..not bad for a garden centre reject though.:o)

No, not bad at all. You definitely got the better end of that deal and your plant looks like it's thanking you! :)

We have both been lucky with our rejects it seems :o)
