One of the first orchids we bought online was a Howera Lava Burst. It is also one of the first orchids I mounted, back in early May. After mostly just hanging around through the summer with the only observable growth being a few new roots, last week a nubbin' emerged from the sphag well below and dead center of the pseudobulbs! This appears to be a new growth and not a root. Kay has decided this 'chid must be a boy!
The best part is, that while watering today I found 2 new bloom spikes just emerging. Sure feels good to know you've done something right, doesn't it? I'll try and post a pic of our boy 'chid later.

It's a boy...orchid tht is!
Yes, it's very gratifying to know all your hard work has proven fruitful. So what are you gonna name your new baby boy? Howard?
It's just so gratifying to know that your work is being rewarded in a lovely way
