Hum..... Since I am a northerner...could you explain how this is growing?

Specifically, I don't 'get' how tying up a plant to tree could survive, let
alone bloom? Where are the roots for this orchid? Where is it getting it's
nutrients from? Are you using the tree as - so to speak- a trellis?

I am totally confused here.... although it is gorgeous !
