Default Cirr. Elizabeth Ann 'Buckleberry' - Spike Emerging?

Hello all!

I purchased this plant back in December. It's been transplanted quite recently into a mixture of tree fern fibers and chopped sphagnum and seems to really like it.

I found this a couple of days ago but this picture was taken last night! I THINK it's a spike emerging out of the side of a pseudobulb.

But of course, need for you to confirm.

This is so exciting! I can't wait for this one to bloom!

That in deed is a flower spike. And just so you'll know for future reference these are the new PB for this Cirr.(1st pic) And to answer the question about size...yes and no. It has small PB but they mutiply somewhat quickly...

That's just a great photo showing the pseudobulbs emerging! Really helps to know what is coming up, out of where. This is the kind of photo documentation that I find so very very helpful!

Yours looks so great! I am really going to enjoy watching this one bloom!

Will post pics of course.
