My orchids have decided to be nice to me this month! Due to lack of space in the orchid travel bag, I only brought 3 of my 7 blooming size phals with me to university. To my amazement, all 3 are spiking!!
Two other of the 15 orchids that I brought are spiking now.
Mini mark has a tiny spike nubbins which grows very slowly. My noid I called Pink Panther (looks like the phal of that name) started a spike at the same time, but it much much bigger. And the third one was the biggest surprise! Normally I look for spikes on it nearly every day. I forgot to look the last 3 days, and now there's a nice spike!! And bonus, the keiki that I took off from it in march is also in spike again.
I need to set up my grow lights and tie up the spikes, because the lack of light is making them go towards the window (no luck I was assigned a room with a north facing window
)
I just wanted to share my happiness with you!

Spikes galore at my place!
I'll post pics when and if they grow out!
My epidendrum got too tall, so I had to take it home before it was impossible to transport, my SLC. Jewelbox Dark Waters is still recovering from the vendor who sold it (might bloom sometime in the next year
, and I'm praying that my Onc. Twinkle will grow new roots soon (I underwaterd and underpotted)
)
