Moth Orchid
This is a Phalaenopsis, one of the most common Orchids.
I like Orchids, they are a complex flower; not for it a bunch of petals and a couple of leaves. This only has three white, waxy leaves and a complex centre. I'm not that green fingered, so the fact this one's lasted so long in the house is pretty amazing.
It apparently derives its Sunday name from being 'moth-like'.
But I think it's pretending to be a viper, with those lower fangs.
