Default New little nubbin! (spike maybe??)
My orchids have been nice to my while I had no access to OB. As I mentioned in previous threads, my Phal. 'Brother Spring Dancer' grew a keiki. About a month ago I cut it off and potted it in bark.
Obviously it enjoys it and put out 3 new roots and yesterday I noticed a little nubbin. It looks suspiciously like a spike, but would a 6 month old keiki already bloom? (FYI, this is the keiki that bloomed while on the plant, when it was 3 months old!) Maybe Her Royal Nubbinness Queen Dorothy will know what it is!!

Cool. Aren't nubbins fun. Do you have hungry turkeys, who like nubbins?

There are some phals, like my equestris that have grown spikes at a 'young' age .. so yes, Camille, your nubbin could very well be a spike
I have seen pictures of blooming keikis still on the mother's spike ..
Why this occurs at an age where most orchids may not see a spike for years ...
Guess they are just ready
Wow .. that nubbin could very well be a spike !
but .. you'll (we'll) see in time
