In fact, I think this orchid "tree" was on a patio somewhere like Taiwan, or Japan, Malaysia or somewhere Any one know?

I just got my old epi oxypetalum from my mom in nc....it had a hard trip, and lost almost all the leaves (which I have rooting, if anyone wants some) anyway, it is up on a bench in an enormous pot. the branches or stems left are 4-5 feet long. as it grows, I am going to train it thru the rafters....this will be a 'shade canopy' to hang under!
it takes years to grow one this big, but, heck, why not?
it has made many new leaves, and I hope to have blooms this summer....can you imagine the scent when they open at night?
