You might want to try letting it dry out a little more toward the end of summer. I've read that this species (or at least some varieties of it) come from seasonally dry areas in southern Mexico, where it gets lots of water, fair amounts of shade, coupled with high heat and humidity during its growing season, followed by cooler and dryer conditions, along with higher amounts of light in the early fall. If all else fails, it might not hurt to give it a try. The Stanhopea Love Potion that I have is half tigrina, and it flowers dependably in the late summer and fall when it starts to dry out a bit more outside where it spends the summer. Good luck!
