yes but I am referring to the fact that I was kind of expecting a sheath when one is formed to be already present inside a leaf as it unfolds rather than grow more or less after the leaf had unfolded.I do relize each type or hybrid with many different parents to will behave different.
I was simply suprised to see the sheaths form after the leaves had pretty much finished on this one .....but then this is the very first time watching one develop for me at all.
Every tiem I had asked when does the sheath appear the answer was always pretty much they develop with the new leaf so I was expecting to see a sheath inside the leaf as it unfolded and alreday be good sized at that time.Not to see a sheath emerge later from the center after they unfolded.
Just trying to give other new orchid growers a little more insight and it may only apply to this chid but lol I would have been happy to know even this little bit more about this one when I got it.
