My Neighbour gave me this beautiful plant, but I don’t know what it is or how to care for it properly. Looks like some kind of orchid/lily and can I take it outside in the summer, I am in a zone 5 Eatern Ontario are.
Thank you

It is an orchid, probably a Phalaenopsis species. We have several articles about caring for these plants:

Yes, you can take orchids outside during frost-free times of year, but allow them to adjust to the outdoor conditions gradually (similar to hardening off). It can depend on the species, so try it for a few days and see how they do. Outdoors, they should be kept in the shade, and make sure they have enough humidity.
