Fantastic! But that's not a nubbin, right D.? That's clearly a root. If I understand the definition of nubbin, it could be either a root or growth, but the person responsible for the term has to set the record straight. Go for it Dorothy!

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.)

 ... well .. it started as a nubbin and has evolved - it's actually out of it's nubbiness ...
BUT!
if you want to.. you can refer to it as 'a nubbin and then some'
