Flowering Orchid

I have a house plant that my mother had started and got from her sister-in-law. It is a perennial, I think, because it dies down in the fall, and starts back up on its own in the spring. It is called a "flowering orchid," and each set of leaves grows opposite each other. It has many, many pinkish-purple blooms. (Click the link below to see a photo of it.) It grows to varying heights depending on how crowded the pot is--usually around six inches. I am terrified that maybe some year it won't come back, because I don't know where I could ever get one again. It is going on to the fourth generation in my family. Does anyone know anything about this plant?
