I went to Ikea tonight, I always check out their orchids but I've been looking for a particular kind since the New England Flower Show a few years ago (I think they were spider orchids and were brown spotted), but my Ikea only has the Phal... kind. Tonight however I found this, but I can't figure out what it is so I can water it correctly.

Brassia? Cattleya? It has five thin petals and one thick petal on the bottom with crinkly edges.





As I was leaving I stopped by the As Is, and I found ANOTHER one! This one had gone by, it's flower stalk is brown and a number of leaves at the bottom were brown, but I trimmed back the dead leaves and I think it might come back to life. This one was only $1 but is the same kind (the only two non-phals). This is a picture of its base after trimming, do you think it has a chance? Should I trim back the flower stalk to the bottom or to where it starts to turn brown?



Thanks for the help! My brother has a phal but I've been holding out for years and years and I want to make sure these two make it if possible.
