If you are a beginner and purchased your orchid at a grocery store, more than likely it is of the genus Phalaenopsis. Most common orchids, especially Phalaenopsis, are hybrids and it is difficult or impossible to identify the name. This isn’t to say your orchid can’t be identified. In many cases, it might be possible to somewhat identify the parents of your orchid.

Bracidostele Gilded Tower ‘Mystic Maze’ – I nabbed one of these a year ago and haven’t seen one since at Trader Joe’s! So glad I did, love the chunky bulbs.

Contrary to the mod, this is not a phal. Could be zygopetalum? Or some oncidium. I am just an amateur orchid grower.
