Is this a Kieki

[wcrosman]

New to orchids. Got this one as a close out at a grocery store. It had root issues due to bad media. I replace the media and it is doing much better.

I saw thuis leaf on a new flower spike and am thinking its a kieki. Am I correct?

At each node of a plant stem is a structure we call a leaf when it's fairly large, and a bract when it's a lot smaller than a leaf. Most of the time on Phalaenopsis flowering stems the nodes are subtended by a bract. In this case the bract has enlarged to something between a leaf and a bract.

It might happen again, and it might not. It doesn't affect the plant otherwise.

A keiki growing on the flowering stem will make a rosette of leaves and later roots.
