A picture or more detailed description would help.



See source for information on orchids - this may help you determine what you have.
Reply:I also agree with the above answers. I think you most likely have a dendrobium orchid. You can also do a search on Google for "orchid images" or "orchid pictures." You'll find many fascinating images of orchids. After you have an idea of what your orchid is you'll need to find out how to best take care of it.
Reply:I agree with abono117. Google "dendrobium" and see if your plant matches any of the pictures of dendrobiums from the google search. The dendrobium color variations are almost endless so pay more attention to the leaves and overall look of the plant instead of the color of the flowers.
Reply:From your description of the leaves it sounds like you have one of the two major forms of a dendrobium orchid.
