its been said these dont have very nice foliage.
#1 its an orchid and thats usually the case. They dont deduct from flowers for foliage.
#2 I think the foliage on this one is just freeking great looking and healthy even if they only have 1 leaf

.

16 buds and 4 spikes on a plant that can barely hold its water.

I seem to have only one picture that was decent. I need to go take some more.

Its been growing in my jar world since I got it and it seems to be doing fine. I dont know why a bulb has popped out roots on top of the bulb though..Never seen that, right out of the top of a back bulb, aerial roots.hmmmm. I be back next week and show you some flowers so dont forget me!!!

most my post get hopelessly buried after 2 days anyway

Too wet on the bottom??? So the plant grew roots in the humid top part of the enclosure.

Love these blooms, but yeah, foliage is a problem. I have to convince the wife sometimes on the plant with foliage, and this one I've lost on at least twice. I need to find one in bloom for convincing! Do take some more of the blooms once they're showing. Nice work on 4 spikes.
I've gotta agree with Tindo on the roots, but without first hand knowledge of the plant, I can't be sure.

It may have retained the need for a "drier" dormancy (not 100% dry, more like 90% - 95 % dry) from the Acacallis cyanea in its heritage, idk...
