Cymbidium spike or pseudobulb?

They look like spikes to me.

Yup, sure looks like a spike now!! Can't wait to see pics of both of the plants in bloom.

Thanks all. The paph is almost opened . I'll post more pics when it fully opens.

Even from the first photos, THESE ARE DEFINITELY SPIKES!
Note the rounded appearance and the slightly rounded top. They will also feel a bit hollow at the tip, but do not squeeze too hard!

New growths will feel flat and hard and by the time your first photos were taken the leaves would have become quite definitive.

You might visit the Cymbidium section of this Forum and browse the recent discussions on spike questions for more information.
