Roots are everywhere, what's happening?

I've had phals with lots of roots, but never sprouting this many at the upper leaf levels. What's happening?
Thanks for any imput.

how about great growing, pat yourself on the back and why worry if it looks sooooo goooood! I guess you could look at this as a "wolf in sheep's clothes," and you have no roots in the pot....but let's not go there

Thanks all! There are tons of good looking roots inside the clear pot also. I just haven't seen this type behavior before...kind of a surge of roots, so to speak. Yes, it must be happiness then. Happiness I can handle.
Still, it seems so strange to me. Thanks for the reassurance. whew!!

I have a surge of roots above the mix as well. But in my case, the lower roots are dismal.

Kiki, I have one that's doing exactly the same thing. I've got good roots below the surface, a new leaf started and lots of roots coming out from the upper part of the plant. It really looks weird. It's a Brother Sara 'Gold'.

I really can't say I'm doing anything different for this one than any of my others. It bloomed abundantly a year ago (all of spring/summer) with two spikes that lasted several months. Once done, I cut it back and it seemed to rest all this time until probably March/April and started to sport a new leaf, then all these new roots gradually appeared. I water it when the beads of water are gone (I use clear pots), and fertilize weakly weekly.
That's all folks!
