Could it be... buds!? - Orchid Board

Hello orchid people,
Sorry that I have not been very active lately on this forum, not much stuff going on. Anyway, I was checking on my Dendrobium Crumenatum and I say these today on an old stalk. At first I thought they were keikis, but they were banana-shaped... could they be buds!?

Oh yeah! Those dendrobiums have this more like a "cone" type shape. You notice when the flowers open that they have a little "heel" shape on their reverse sides. With the buds make sure you are feeding them correctly, and in some cases they need more humidity.

Don't worry, I got everything ready for a bloom. I got humidity covered too hehe. I think it bloomed because it was raining a TON over the last few days. I dont like the smell of these flowers, they smell strange...
