Phalaenopsis deliciosa blooms

This plant is doing pretty well in its current perch despite arriving with some heat-related rot on two leaves that had to be cut off. I got it from Parkside and it arrived in spike and the spikes have since elongated nicely and made some flower buds! Seems to be an easy grower and it is currently in its original bark mix. I've kept it on the dry side of things for the most part and haven't dared to water it fully yet. It's a neat little plant that is compact and has a nice dark green wavy foliage, with cute flowers.

*Update: I think this is not a standard deliciosa but instead, is Phal. deliciosa subsp. hookeriana because the petals and sepals are yellowish.
