Zygopetalum with too many roots?

I have a zygo that was planted in soil when I bought her (or some other seriously broken down media). She has finished blooming and I decided it was time to repot her. She was a solid mass of thick...

Any idea what this beauty is?

I bought this beauty at Trader Joes last week. I'm guessing she is a hybrid with miltonia in her, maybe brassavola? I realize she will always be a NOID, but it would help to know what she is, so I...
