Default Project 4 update

I just thought I would post an update picture on my spike. It looks like I will get just one flower, maybe I will get more next time.

How can you tell it will only be one? Perhaps that is simply the starting point for bud production.

My thoughts as well. These guys are very slow producing buds and just because only one shows near the end doesn't mean there won't be more. I am watch two spikes elongate daily and there seems to be no end of the "buds" (they're just bumps right now).

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

At last count I had 8 buds and the spike is still growing though slowing down a bit. The back two buds are starting to emerge from the node. I'm not sure how far from flowering I am.

Mine is still a little nubbin, I think the cooler nights might be effecting it, is that possible? it just does not seem to growing at the rate I expect it to be going. My phal noid has doubled the length of his spike, in half of the time.

Hey, thanks guys. I'm a lot more optimistic, it does seem to be a little small. I remember in the pictures there is a very long spike on these guys. I guess it's just a slow grower. I know some of these take forever to develop. I will just have to be patient.

Well, I counted 10 buds total this morning when I watered. It's stopped growing and the flowers are nearly all emerged from the nodes. Anybody know how long it takes the flower to develop once it makes an appearance?
