Sunset has a booklet that is helpful. The Orchid society has a wealth of information includind a small (inexpensive) book called My first Orchid that is really good.

I've owned about a hundred but never had the correct lighting to make them bloom twice. They are beautiful, facinating things with incredible history and can be quite addicting (and expensive). Google the Orchid Society and see if they have a group near you. Good luck.
