I would say some sort of Epidendrum, but I could be wrong. Beautiful flowers!

I also think it's an epidendrum, probably a reed stem.

Definitely a reed stem Epidendrum. Probably a hybrid. And if it had no tag you will probably never get a more exact identification than that.

No. These keep there leaves and get quite bushy in time.
