Default Ascocentrum miniatum

This plant flowers every single year but has finally done me proud and grown 2 spikes for the first time!
Although, the spikes are shorter and more compact than all the previous flowerings. I am pretty sure this is because I had it in a different window, where it was getting more light for the past 6/8 months.
Apologies for the quality of the photo. I'll try and take a better one when we get a bit of sunshine back..
