Default OMG I HAVE A SPIKE??

I bought this plant that looks to be a Paph. Yerba Buena but all yellow. It did not have a name tag. I got it
Jan 2015.

Anyways it had 3 growths on it that all were mature looking when I got it. The one growth that was in bloom at the time I bought it has died. The plant did not do so well this summer. I repotted it in Oct and have not been watering it as much because before I was over watering it.

I have been just been keeping an eye on it. Not letting it dry out but not watering it much. It was under Lights but I moved a month ago to a south facing grow window.

I noticed this today.
See the shadow



Notice here how it kind of looks plump. not flat.


This is the first Paph I have gotten to rebloom for me. I am so Excited! My first Paph has a new growth on it but it is not mature enough yet. Maybe in a few months I will have a spike.

Thanks guys. This is my first paph to bloom for me so it's a big deal. Also this plant was not doing too well a few months ago. I fixed the problem and the plant is thanking me.
