Is this at all an orchid?

It is hanging in a basket with under an acacia tree in the garden with a lot of full sun during the morning and the afternoons, and filtered sunlight during the hottest hours of the day. It got a slight purple tint on the stems and some of the older leaves and got nice roots and seem happy, but it's just determined to make more shoots and leaves instead of flowering. I still have no idea what color it has.

I'm going to put it into the greenhouse to protect it from frost during the winter nights ahead and I really hope I get to see some flowers next season.

It is a reedstem epidendrum, but it would have been so cool if it had been a sobralia because they look beautiful!

here in indonesia, I grow mine (epidendrum radicans) in full sun all day long no shade at all, not exactly sure how the sun is at your place, but perhaps more sun ?
