Spikes make me happy!

Looks like this concludes my wait, I guess it's safe to say that this one will make it too.

This is my first rebloom ^_^ I bought all my orchids last summer.

First is my seedling phal schilleriana, with four blooms. So dainty <3

Second is a NOID (a very attractive phal, flowers aside)

Third is 'surf song' with a second spike coming along nicely.

Fourth is my phal 'snowflake' which very much enjoys sideways growing :-D fifth pic is its bloom from this past summer.

The yellow one is my 'Amadeus'. It seems to be a heavy bloomer with the longest lasting flowers of my phals.

Lastly, an orbweaver hanging out in the window since i brought my plants in last fall. And a NOID mini that is my favorite color ^_^

oh and I have two late-bloomers that only just put out a spike. i wasnt sure they were going to.

Great growing Lauraeli, I wish I could get multiple spikes on my Phals. The spider looks very happy as well .

Thank you :-) I have a few with multiple spikes but it is generally a new spike from the bottom combined with branching off an old spike. Phals can only grow one spike per leaf, I heard. So when you cut off the old ones, they cant grow a new one from that place anymore. But I understand why people cut them off.

And the spider, what can I say about him. There are many spiders in here. In fact, there was one hanging out on top of my head this morning. My bf picked it up out of my hair.

Not the orbweaver, though. He minds his own business, stays in the window. Rebuilds his web every single day :-) Very busy guy.
