There is a cool story behind this bloom of an orchid. Four years ago my aunt went to Hawaii and smuggled this orchid plant back on the plane somehow. Each year she was telling it to bloom and each year it would refuse. Also with each passing year she was getting more annoyed and threatening to throw it out. But she didn't and now in the fourth and almost final year it has miraculously bloomed. That has got to be some faith or love to the plant who taunted her for four years. I for one would have kicked it to the curb long ago but no, my aunt, kept on believing that it would bloom. And bloom it has!

Oh that's lovely. Your aunt should visit Longwood Gardens in PA - they have an amazing orchid exhibit. Although I'm sure they strongly discourage smuggling souvenirs.
