My project 4 looks different

[Pinkcat]

My little plant seems to look different than others. Is it possible I got the wrong variety? Here is a link to my pictures: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...95&ppuser=2142
One is when I first got the plant, the others are from today. Roots are coming out of this puppy like mad, a few leaves, but no signs of spikes. My leaves also seem thinner than others I have seen. It is currently under fluorescents, approx. 3-4 inches from the bulbs for about 16 hours a day. I soak with distilled water, with diluted food and KLN. Maybe I should try the water without the KLN? Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch!

Nope, yours looks fine. Actually extra-fine! Lotsa new roots. Did you see this link? Aerangis lueto-alba var rhodosticta - in Wardian case Look at those roots! Yours are nearly as robust. Quit worrying! When your baby is ready it will bloom and then you'll know for sure. Keep doing what you're doing.

It's doing great, Ami
New roots galore!!!

I agree--it looks great. The roots are wonderful. I don't have new roots that look that good on mine.

I think yours looks like all the others....with lots of roots! Mine is putting out a few new roots as well, only mine came potted....I wish mine were mounted though! Keep up the good work!

Ami, that's a root growing monster! I think it looks great! Keep up the good work.

Wow! That one in the case is out of control! I had a feeling that was what mine was going to look like eventually. Thanks for the reassurance everyone. One of the things that attracts me to orchids in the first place are the wonderful aerial roots. I guess this little plant aims to please...
I may need to add another stick within a year or so. Maybe I can just stick the whole thing on some cork board and see what happens.

Looks good to me, your doing great. Jim.

Your plant looks gorgeous with all of those beautiful roots! It certainly seems as though it wanted to give you what you like. You're going to have some awesome flowers when they arrive. Good growing!

Yours looks okay to me, and that one in the case is just simply, WOW!
