Phalaenopsis appendiculata surprise!

I recently acquired this species from BLO and was surprised to see it in spike after only a month under my care. Hopefully this is not stress-induced, but because it was pushing out new roots as well it is perhaps doing alright. Here are some first bloom photos of this Phalaenopsis appendiculata. The color on the petals is quite saturated. It seems to be happy enough potted in moss but I will eventually want to mount this and grow it in some sort of vivarium in the future. Undoubtedly, the smallest phal species.
