Default Spike?

I am pretty sure that i've gotten my first spike, now my question is how long does it take from beginning till it blooms? I have searched and can't find out the length of time anywhere. I noticed what i thought was a new root on the 28th of sept. This phal is a noid..but it looks exactly like a schillerina (pink). I am soo happy any imput would be great. Here are some pics of the spike taken today. Thankyou!

I just got this phal in the spring. I repotted it when i got it, the leaves have looked the same since i first got it i watered it on this past sat. The leaves on this phal are dark marbled green. Thankyou for the reply, it looks like a spike to me too. Hopefully someone else will chime in and give me an estimate time wise. Thanks again!

My phals take about 2 months from spike to bloom.
Congratulations on the spikes.

Congrats on the spike! It will probably take 60-90 days for blooms, depending on conditions.
