This is a bud, right??
I converted my two Phalaenopsis to semi-hydroponics about 6 weeks ago and have seen fantastic growth from both. My Phal. bellina alba is unfurling what I think is a bud, but I've never seen a bud form competely from inception so I'm not sure what I'm looking at. This is a bud, correct?

Yes. Spikes on both plants, congratulations!
Be aware that it can take a while for the bud to turn into a bloom. It may feel like the plant is stalled, but as long as it is nice and green, like it is now, the spike can still grow in the future.

Thanks so much, fishmom! I've definitely realized orchids are an exercise in patience. :-) This year is the first time I've bought plants not already in bloom, so it's super rewarding to watch them develop.

Getting closer! I realized after the fact that the bud is craning its neck toward the window, so I'll be sure to orient the plant differently next season. Can't wait to see the bloom!

Nice progress! I have a non-blooming bellina, so I am envious.
