I have to admit that when Quiltergal posted that her's was in spike I was a little jealous

. Well I so happy to report that when putting mine back outside after low 40F. degree weather. I noticed a small bump on the side of one of the pseudobulb. After closer examination I found a total of 8 spikes, maybe 9.

. I picked this one up at Andy's when at the WOC. The blue arrow show's a little honey dew.

Yay!

I love this plant, it's so cute, especially when it's covered in those delicious looking yellow blooms.
Be sure to post pics when it finally blooms!!

Nice work, Dave!! This is such a fantastic Den. Get ready for some rich, buttery yellow beauty! Tons of spikes you've got going there. Well done!!

wow... Congrats!! for how long did you keep at that low temps?

my plant is getting @ 60F at nights, but it is doing nothing.... I should move it next to Coelogyne cristata (currently in bloom) and Dendrobium kingianum (currently spiking)

I grow it outdoors and the days now can get in the low 80's and the nights are in the upper 50's to low 60's. When we have nights under 50 I bring it inside. I don't think it has ever been colder then 50F. Oh I water it daily
