Phalaenopsis deliciosa subsp. hookeriana blooms

This plant surprised me with a spike a month ago after moving it to the top of the growing area where it began getting more light. When it was transplanted from bark to sphagnum, it wasn't really doing that great in terms of vegetative growth even after I cut off its old spikes. I guess the move was good because it's now making new roots as well. The leaves are really dark green in my conditions despite the higher lights, so perhaps it can take even higher light conditions than it is currently in. At the last blooming, only single buds would appear, so it's great to get a multibloom spike this time around.
