This is a link of this plant's last bloom:
Den Nopporn Pink

A few weeks ago, I noticed that one of the tall canes had the top leaves sort of stuck in a cylinder shape at the end. I tried to nudge them open a bit but they were very fragile so they broke. what I found inside surprised me...two spikes were stuck in there! The last two pictures show what's been happening since

The spikes grew towards one of the windows behind it and I just let it go to see how far it went. The blooms have very cute little notches in the petals that were not there in previous bloomings

What a nice suprise hidden behind the leaves. Wonder why they got stuck inside like that.

They're really pretty, so glad you got to see them (and take pics for us

)

You HAVE to post pics when those buds bloom. That color is too beautiful Susanne. She looks very happy, thanks to you, no less!

P.S. Great avatar pic!
