    Default What kind of leafy orchid is this?

    My first question is....what kind of orchid is in the first picture? It's very leafy. This was taken from the side, so you can't really see just how leafy and full of buds it is! As of right now, there are 7 spikes with with 5 buds on each. And you can't really see it in the picture, but there is a tiny bit of purple on each bud.
    My second question is...is this plant healthy? I've always read that the leaves should be a lighter green, but as I'm new to this, I'm not sure if this specific type of orchid should be darker. It currently has one spike with 2 open flowers and 6 buds.
