haha - thanks Katie - well I still have a couple phals limping along without roots ... *sigh*

Should this produce any keikis, I'll let you know ;)

Sorry for the poor photos - this has proven difficult to photograph for me - spikes going every which way, and about impossible to capture color of blooms ...

- The three spikes that emerged from the location of the broken spike are smaller than the others, and no branching as the others have. But, there seems to be some activity on some lower nodes, so perhaps will branch yet.

There have been lots of buds blasting - from the cold weather I guess. I try to remember to take it out of the window on cold nights, but I guess I am not doing a good job of that. I actually can't fit this plant on the sill any longer because of the spikes, but have it set on top of a container just next to the sill.

WhiteRabbit - Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a phal with so many spikes. Congratulations.

Thanks David - there's actually two the same in one pot - one plant has 2 spikes, the other 4 - but even 4 on one plant seems crazy to me! It probably would have had 2 spikes, had I not broke one while it was small.
