Still not sure what it's doing but it's growing so that's a good thing

I worked so hard at figuring out phals that I lost my touch with oncidiums, that's for sure.

I have had basal keikis that elongated a bit before forming a plant. This is more than what I've seen in my plants, but I'm still pretty sure it's a basal keiki. |

I'm just enjoying watching it grow...I've watched the poor thing struggle to barely stay alive for more than a year. Any new growth on it is beautiful to me |

Very strange. Not sure why my earlier post was duplicated.
