Hey hey show 'n' tell time for me!!

First Paph. Odette's Vision has been slowly coming into spike in the last week, week and a half, wait TWO SPIKES! Got this plant over a month ago now so I'm super happy to see I've kept it happy enough to spike thus far! It's got a bunch of growths and a new one coming in! I absolutely can't wait to see how they bloom.

Oh and this is my first Paph with double spike! You can bet your bottom I'll be posting when they open. And the spikes first came up after being outside and getting rained on. 5-6 days ago I put it back out with others, got to go through a little storm hoping that'll make it even happier! (Btw the white stuff you see is from insecticidal soap, I went a bit crazy after finding a mealy on my Wilsonara, and this guy had a little crawler I only saw once earlier on.)

Almost forgot...got this one from eBay over a month ago as well, same story as Odette's Vision about it developing these "sheaths" after being outside and getting rained on (and coming in once after the first 4 days, two weeks now I think).

Paph. Lebaudyanum (haynaldianum x phillipinense)

It's not in spike, but I think it's sort kind in sheath, almost in spike...? Maybe on its way to double?

Or maybe I'm wrong, new leaves...I see one is darker than the other, guess I'll have to wait and see! This plant has one older growth and three new growths!

Thank you thank you all! I am stoked to see what they look like, they should be awesome surprised.

Checked Lebaudyanum today and the two new "growths" (Sheaths??) coming up in the center of two fans are still definitely two different colors. I don't know what this means, if it suggests the flowers might be different on the two or what but I'm a bit excited by the prospect. I've not yet had a Paph with two spikes at once so I'm pretty excited it and Odette's Vision are being so so generous.

Anyone else had this occurrence, the two different colors? One is quite dark as you can see in the above pics (last set) while the other is the same green as the leaves, maybe the latter is just another leaf??
