Orchid tips/species help?

My boyfriend sent me a potted orchid via interflora for my birthday. Its supposed to flower for 2-3 months and then re-flower after 6-9 months. I want to ensure that it re-flowers and keep it healthy, and I would be quite upset if it didn't florish because of the sentimental value, but i've heard they're hard to keep and i'm not too good with plants anyway.


Can anyone give me any orchid care advice/good sources with this kind of advice and/or sources which will help me identify the species (because this didn't come with the plant's information and I think it would help me give it more specialised care). I've already bought it orchid feed from the garden centre which I plan to use monthly, and I water it minimally once a week. Thanks!
