Is it ok for a first spike on a Phal to keiki?
I bought a near bloom size Phal. equestris last year. A few months back, it sent out its' first spike (PROUD MOMENT) and gave me a cute seven inch spike with eight flowers. Not bad for a first spike I think. Since then all of the flowers dropped and I have been waiting for the spike to die back so I can repot. Then one day, out of the blue, the end of the spike burst open with three new blooms and a keiki. It has to be a keiki, why else would there be little leaves on the end of the spike? My question, is it ok for the first spike to have a keiki? The plant is little, but equestris stay little, right? I don't want the little guy to be stressing out, being its' first spike and all. This is my first go at a Phal that readily keikis. I'm kind of excitied, and nervous, about the new adventure. Thanks, Cindy
