NICE!
How are you growing your plant? It looks like it is in gravel.
Are you growing any of the other varieties of Ludisia?

It's in regular potting soil with a bit of paph mix thrown in which is the pebbly looking stuff.
This is the whole plant:

Nice growing Sue!  Perhaps a drop in temperature is needed in order to initiate flowering?
