# Hello! I recently received this beautiful orchid, but can’t quite…

_Posted by Capy Plants 🪴 on 2024-03-16_

Hello!  
I recently received this beautiful orchid, but can’t quite figure out which type it is. If anyone could tell me which orchid type this is, I would appreciate it so I could find the specific needs to it.

Most likely a moth orchid  
I have the same one and I’ve always thought it to be a moth 🤷‍♀️

Agree with snazzy man - moth orchid is common name, scientific name Phaelenopsis (not sure I spelt that right 😛)
