I have never had luck with getting orchids to rebloom, but my son got this one for me for Mother’s Day because it is my favorite color

Rebecca, this is stunning and gorgeous color!!
I waited two years and finally all three of mine rebloomed!! Don't give up, as long as the leaves are healthy, continue to water once a week and I use Miracle Grow spray fertilizer right on the leaves.

I feel your pain. I love orchids but have never had one rebloom. Great picture.

That's a beautiful orchid.
Most of mine have not survived, but I have one reblooming now and another one full of buds (which take a very long time to bloom). Water plants once a week and they live in a well lighted bathroom out of direct sunlight.

Phalaenopsis orchids are considered one of the easiest orchids to re-bloom. Do a little research on their care. Kinda like African violets in care (except soil type). Don't expect the flower color to be the same, as that color is due to a white flower being dyed the color you received (the color is injected into the stem), sorry.
There are a few Phal's that do come in that color-ish, and have a wonderful aroma! They are a little more difficult to raise...! I should know, I have killed more than my share. Phalaenopsis bellina coerulea, when you get good at raising them. Good luck, and enjoy!

Beautiful shot.
Those can be hard to keep alive. Part of the trick is not to overwater, or let dry out.
I had one that died via the latter. I'm not an expert, just relating my experience.
