Paph Pinocchio first spike ever!
I got a Paph Pinocchio from Incredible Orchids a couple of years ago and I have a spike!!
This will be my first EVER spike on a Paph/Phrag. I told myself that I can't buy any more of these until I get one to bloom by myself.
I'm so happy.
I don't have a picture yet, but this morning I noticed that the spike is peeking over the crown.

Awesome! I'm in the same boat. I love Paphs and phrags, but still have yet to get one to bloom. Refuse to get another until the two I have do bloom, lol...

That's great Melissa. I don't have Pinocchio, but I understand once it starts blooming, it's like the Energizer Bunny. It keeps going and going and going.

It will be in bloom forever. You'll get sick of the flowers before it quits. Nice growing!

Definately congrats I have four paphs, all growing nice and healthy, but I'm still waiting for that first bloom (I though a month ago I could see the top of a bud in the top of the fan, but it doesn't seem to be getting any bigger!).
Have fun shopping for more

I personally think paphs are very difficult to flower.
Congratulations!!
