Winter Bloomer...What am I?

[HighSeas]

Anyone happen to know what this is? I've had it for years (at least 15) hanging in a tree in my front yard. It blooms every winter and the pink flowers are especially profuse when it's had cold exposure. Thanks for any info on this!

I am pretty sure that it is a Brassovola nodosa hybrid. I don't know which one.

It is very nice and a specimen size... so while you're out there making divisions of this beauty, whack off another 3 or 4 pseudo bulbs and send it up here... I'll pay the postage!

This looks like it could be Blc. Morning Glory.
Looks very much like the pic shown here.

Thanks everyone! I've had the orchid for such a very long time and planted it in a hanging coconut basket....Now it's over grown the basket on all sides and is a clump of roots. How long can it go on like that?
