The scale-ish looking thing could be the sap that's dried. I see that on some that are super sappy. Kind of like dried sugar crystals. But, it's definitely something you want to check and be sure about.
Again, congrats on the spikes and be sure to post pics when the blooms open.  |
Yes it is sap, a lot off it, that why i pick it up and check on the plant. Spikes are on the side that close to the wall. I usually don't carry all orchid to the sink to water, just put it in the bowl of water that leveled with the orchid pot and soak it over night. That when i noticed spikes. So maybe it have a lot of sap then it blooms?
