Default Wanted to share my spike

My favorite phal is in spike.... check it out!!! Its about a month into growing and the top is full of potential little buds.



Here is a close-up of its crazy roots. S/H has done well by this plant.



I'm so excited. This will be my first repeat bloomer (getting the phal to bloom again after the originally purchased blooms!).
