Long blooming orchid

I bought this beautiful phaleonopsis at the Green Thumb Festival for $7 back in APRIL and it's still blooming!!!
 It sits in front of a window where it only gets a stray ray of morning sun, and I never water it. Rather, it is sitting suspended (on a pile of wine bottle corks (hmmm, I wonder where I got those) with water at the bottom, so it's sitting above the water but not in it. I figure maybe the wine corks absorb and suffuse the water too.  I certainly have enjoyed it.
