what is this?

Hi everyone,
This is my first reed stem Epiendrum, so could someone please tell me what this new growth is? The plant has 5. The tag says Epi. Pak Girl x Pacific Embers (Pacific Glory).

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Vicki

it looks like we have a keiki=baby plant!
Congratulations its a girl ! :P
I think its a dendrobium, not an epi !

Cookie, it's definitely an Epi. It used to be mine.

Vicki, it's an Epi and that is a keiki, which if left alone, will flower fairly quickly.
You will find the keiki will develop a root system and separate from 'mum' very easily.

LOL! Terri, if all of you told me that the new growth is a GOOD thing, I was gonna mention that the plant used to be yours. Otherwise, I wasn't gonna disclose the previous owner.
Thanks for your help! (lol)
