Question
Hi,

I was given an orchid and would like to properly care for it, but I don't know what type of orchid it is.  Can you help?  It looks like this:  http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.myfourthirds.com/files/3045/Is...

I appreciate your help!

Answer
Hi Nancy,

If your orchid looks similar to the one at: http://www.myfourthirds.com/files/3045/Istiqamah_Orchid.jpg then it is a dendrobium orchid and it is of the evergreen dendrobium family.  

Hope that helps you.  If you would like more information, write back and I'll try to help with it.
