Same question here, are these roots or spikes?
Hi! I figured I would piggy back on this post, since it's the same exact question I have.. different orchid of course... My guess is that they are roots, but they look like they have mittens..

Jack, I'm sticking with my first answer - Spike!
Hi Lisbert - Those are roots - roots are good  |

I would definitely put my money on the last picture being a flower spike! Very exciting, and good buy!

They very much could be flower spikes (both of them). The shape is similar to the Angraecoides I am more familiar with. I normally wait till a spike gets further out to say for sure, though.
