Wish my climate was suitable to naturalize them in a small forest, they are very pretty.

I have a Hawaiian Leopard which has this in it's background, so let me tell you my experience. When in growth cycle, it produces bifoliate p-bulbs and when it's going to flower it makes a unifoliate p-bulb. I have mine in a very crowded pot but I really don't think that is your problem unless it's wobbly in the pot and not secure. I put mine outside in almost full sun in summer(very high up in a redbud tree). In winter I have been known to put it right up next to a south facing window but I also have gotten some good blooms from it under my lights in the basement. I use a 65 watt Compact Fl. bulb. This thing is huge. I have it in a brooder lamp. I just really think your issue is light. When my plant is outside I can get a couple of spikes with 5 buds each, in winter I get 1 spike with maybe 2-3 blooms. I agree with Jane, but then again I usually agree with Jane. ginnibug

Strange, only one lonely flower; very beautiful though ...

Looks just like insufficient watering. Seattle may not get too hot (except for this week) but a full-on southern exposure can generate some pretty warm soil temperatures in a container and they dry out quickly. I water mine on pretty much a daily basis. You want to keep the soil consistantly moist - not wet but not allowed to dry out either. The white spots are most likley powdery mildew and that very commonly occurs when soils are allowed to dry too much (as compared to humidity/air moisture). Personally, I'd cut the plant back. Less topgrowth to hydrate will help it recover quickly and I'd also consider planting in the ground this fall. And as long as you keep watering, it's not going to die :-)
