Frog Orchid - Aston Rowant NNR (Oxfordshire)

The Phalaenopsis orchid is commonly known as the moth orchid as the flowers are borne on slender arching stems and the the white ones do look like moths in mid flight. This is a warm growing orchid and needs temperatures of at least 15C (60F) during the winter and can be allowed to rise up to 28C (82F) during the summer - 20C - 22C being the optimum.

These orchids will strive to get out of their pots and want to adopt a more horizontal position, this is due to the way they grow in their natural habitat of S E Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines etc) where they cling at an angle to the branches of large tropical trees up in the forest canopy!

Picture of an orchid I took while at work in Santa Fe. For a long time I thought it was silk, before I realized it was real.
