Default My first B. Nodosa

Okay, so I just bought my first B. nodosa. I'm not sure why it took me so long other than I plead I never found one at a nursery I visited.... until today. I picked the little bugger up. He's got 2 sheaths and 2 older blossoms on him now.
My question is thus... the leaves that have already bloomed sort of "lay down" in the pot. Is that right? Shouldn't they all be upright?

It was in a greenhouse, orchid breeder, good conditions, I'd say.
Currently potted in a 4" clay pot, clay pot, fresh bark/charcoal/perlite mix. Nice root system, a little overgrown on 1 side of the pot.
He's got 10 leaves/canes.

Also, I placed him with my phals on the back porch (south facing but highly shaded due to a huge 20x20' roof). Good area for this guy? They get morning light but indirect for the rest of the day. Ocean breezes, loads of humidity (canal & pool in backyard).

Thanks to everyone for the help!!
