Phalaenopsis venosa update

I got this plant about a year ago with not much healthy roots at all. I had no idea if it will survive.
Well, this venosa did pretty good job recovering:



I think warm and humid conditions of orchid tank helped a lot. Wondering if it will give me a spike soon...

Phalaenopsis venosa

I got this plant for a while, it arrived here during summer, I just forgot to log it in.
There is not much I can say about Phalaenopsis venosa, never saw one blooming in person, but read somewhere that flowers smell like crushed centipede. Since then I decided to smell crushed centipede but never had a chance yet.



My plant used to be a keiki because I found the remainings of an old spike that it was connected to the mother plant with. There wasn't much roots but maybe it improved lately, plant has started a new leaf recently.
Hopefully I will have a chance to smell the flower before I will find the crushed centipede.
