Dendrobium Phalaenopsis spiking
Just back from two weeks holiday to find this. It all happened in these two weeks I've been away.
![Dendrobium Phalaenopsis spiking-imageuploadedbytapatalk1344844483-769017-jpg](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=71833&thumb=1&d=1344844482) ![Dendrobium Phalaenopsis spiking-imageuploadedbytapatalk1344844502-009403-jpg](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=71834&thumb=1&d=1344844500) ![Dendrobium Phalaenopsis spiking-imageuploadedbytapatalk1344844572-048611-jpg](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=71835&thumb=1&d=1344844570) ![Dendrobium Phalaenopsis spiking-imageuploadedbytapatalk1344844593-530653-jpg](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=71836&thumb=1&d=1344844592)
The first three pictures are from the same plant and the last one is another.
Both are growing new canes (at last), and spikes. At least, I think they're spikes (the last picture is a spike for sure). The other ones I'm not too sure if they are spikes or keikis, but I don't know if Dendrobiums Phalaenopsis produce keikis or not. I know the Nobile and Kingianum types do (mine have tons of keikis) but I don't know about the phalaenopsis type.

The second picture above wasn't very clear, so I just took another one. Spike or not, what do you guys think?

these do keiki, but I do believe this one is a spike! It is the time of year for them to spike (or for mine anyway, tho I do have at least one keiki that started along with the spikes) ![Wink](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Cool, I was thinking spike as I looked at the first pics. As Sonya said these do keiki as I have one doing it just now, but they look slightly different, difficult to describe I might have a pic at home I'll try and dig out.

As Rosie said they do look slightly different.
Attached is a photo of a young keiki starting and one of a small spike.

Thanks Mike, I thought I had one with the keiki even younger than that (and no sign of leaves) but couldn't find it over our long weekend and hadn't managed to get back here since.
I did have one that looked like a keiki, then turned into a spike, but a spike with roots, and it's now growing a second cane. So it was a keiki but it spiked before it actually grew any leaves. I've had that happen a lot on a Den kinginanum but not on a Den Phal (until this time).
