Its been a long wait since its stressed out and wrinkled leaf state and minimal root system. After several months of growing another foot or more and lots of healthy roots i have a spike much larger than the first as well as more flowers and much larger & flatter flowers.

Beautiful! Glad it made a comeback. What did you do to help it recover?

Well it had spiked and I really wanted to see what the blooms looked like so having had it in intense sun with so few roots and flowering it really suffered.
I first threw it in my phal greenhouse where it got a lot of shade under 75% shade where it was under no stress and started sending out numerous roots and anchored nicely to its pot. After a few months I moved it to my main greenhouse with all my vandas with high light and direct afternoon sun where its leaves plumped up and it grew well over a foot more in just a few more months and lots of strong roots; can barely get it off the table as it is has basically anchored itself there. And now the results of all of that are in the photos.
