OK - so I'm new and all, but I've asked my sister and BIL about this and they, being orchid enthusiasts, are clueless....
I got a Phalaenopsis last year for Mother's Day... it bloomed for a couple months after I got it and then the blooms started to die. I cut the stem back a bit and waited...... it grew 3 more leaves and appears blissfully content in my office window, lovely shiny dark green leaves, no yellowing, etc.
A couple months ago, it got a little bud on the stem. I was thrilled! Instead of growing more blooms, though, it grew another LEAF... on top of the stem
Just in the last couple of weeks, it's getting a flower right under the new leaf. I wish I could find my camera, this thing looks crazy. What's going on?
New leaves with the new bloom?!
