Hello, I'm new to the orchid community and was given this orchid as a gift. I'm having trouble identifying it. If you have any ideas or advice I'd really appreciated it

It's a big lip phalaenopsis. Do a Google images search and you just may be lucky enough to find the exact name of yours.

It's a bigfoot Phalaenopsis. It may be quite difficult to identify it more specifically; the mutation which causes the big lip hasn't been around that long but there are already quite a few hybrids now showing it.

Congratulations! A big lip. So you know that one of the parents or grandparents was Phal. World Class "Big Lip."

Lovely flowers.
Maybe there's a tag with the vendor name. Contact them and see if they can help.

Where did it come from, do you know? I ask because I recently saw some that looked like that at Lowes, and they were tagged. Their plants were supplied by Better-Gro. If it came from Lowes, you could try contacting Better-Gro.

I'm not sure there are any left at my store to check their tags.
