Spike or root?

[mimigirl]

Well can i jump in and ask the same question? The point of mine is not a point or a mitten.

Looks like a root to me, if you are talking about the growth at the base of the plant right in front. (of Mimi's plant)

[mimigirl]

Shucks. It is a rescue and i was hopeful.

That's a root alright. But it looks healthy so you shouldn't have to wait too long for bloom. It's in sphag, so be careful that it doesn't stay too wet.

I am so happy that it is a healthy root! You should see what it loked like in August when i rescued it! Thanks all of you.

I'm voting for a spike.

It's exactly in line with the centre of the leaves, which is where all spikes emerge.

Well Mimigirl, please keep us updated on your root or spike as it may be and your future blooms.

I think yours is a spike since it is coming from between the leaves. Roots usually come from below the leaves.
