Thanks, Stephen! I was hoping you would eventually add your input to this particular post. I thought that spike was pretty early and that's why I wanted to confirm it. Possibly two spikes this season? I'll take them!

I know this species is one of your favorites. In fact, you were the one who inspired me to add this particular cycnoches to my collection. If you don't mind, I'd like to keep you posted on my progress with it

Hey, Stephen! Here's an update on my Cyc. herrenhusanum. As you'll see in pic#1, that first spike I was so excited about earlier aborted. I don't know the reason why. However, a second spike formed very soon after. It only had 5 buds, though. Two of them blasted, leaving the three you see in pic#2.

The buds look very small to me. Are the flowers small to begin with? Also, this is a young plant. Do you think that's why it's putting out such a small spike with a low number of buds? Keeping my fingers crossed for this one!
