Peculiar and odd flowering ways of Orchids .. share your experience!

[esthandior]

Hi there orchid lovers!

Have you seen any peculiar ways for your orchids to bloom?
If you've experienced this unusual form, and happened to have some pictures of it, you're welcome to share it here.
Perhaps we can also have some discussions of why such things may happen.

Here's one that i encounter. One of my dendrobiums surprisingly grew a keiki to pop out its flower buds. Check the attached images!

Anyone have any idea why this could happen?
If any of you guys encountered these oddities, please share, me, and i think we all want to know

Have good day and cheeers...

I do not have a photo of this, but a long time ago my dad had a Phal schilleriana, which grew a keiki on a spike. The next year it grew keikis on two more spikes, plus the original keiki flowered, and eventually grew another keiki on that spike. The third year it was spikes all over, cascading maybe 5 feet (150 cm).

Here's another one,

Golden shower used to be like, showering gold.. but this one, is a real lonely dancing orchid.

I have this oncidium for 2 years, never bloomed.. but once bloomed just recently, this happened.

Any idea why?

Ive had this one for 3 years, i mounted it on a palm tree, and it grows vigorously. It hasn't even lost one oldest, smallest bulb.
Hope it last for more years ahead

Ah, i've read somewhere that phal actually can grow keikis from flower spikes. The keiki grew after its done flowering right? Must be a really healthy phal your dad had at that time!
