Ada Aurantiaca in Spike!?
What!? I'm getting ready to go on vacation (like in five days). I've had this plant for like 20 days... and I come home from a friend's house tonight and check on it and I see this:
I am a little confused by the yellow on what I believe are the buds... this plant's a new one on me. WTH!? Couldn't you wait until I got back!? LOL!
Thanks for looking. Any light you can shed, or commentary or advice is always respected and appreciated! |

 Buds!!
Don't worry as the spike elongates and buds develop the color should intensify.
Can't wait to see the bloom pics!

Oh I hope the buds don't blast while I'm out of town! I'd love to see this one blooming! I've been so excited about this plant. I ordered it and then found out it was on back order, so I waited for it for a month or so to come in, then when it got here the leaf tips on several leaves looked bad. I clipped them, dusted the cuts with cinnamon and treated the plant with physan as a precaution in case it was a fungal issue. It's been bouncing back well. New pbulbs started growing not long after and it's not even under my lights. It's still in quarantine. It's a tough little orchid!

Just got back... and it is lovely. I thought the color was supposed to be red, but I think I will just take pictures of it as the blooms age because they are definitely darker when I first saw them. They're a school bus yellow today, almost orange, not quite. So, so beautiful. I'll post an update pic tomorrow.

Can't wait to see the new pictures and I hope you had a very good vacation. I bet you couldn't wait to get home to see what this orchid looks like as it opened a bit more for you. Enjoy and remember to post them pictures as we all want to see.
