It's lovely, Linda, and what a lot of flowers on it. I like the matching pot, too.
The nice thing about orchids is that the blooms last months and the plant thrives on neglect and very little water.

Yes, just to add that make sure when you put it all back again, that none of the roots are standing in water. Also that it does not get much direct sunlight.
