Keiki Paste Works!

[mayres]

The first picture is of the phal that started it all for me - first noted at my mom's place in 2003. Every week I would go over to visit it would STILL be blooming!
Since then I have been caring for it during its short non-blooming periods and then taking it back to mom for the "show".
Last year it bloomed from February to December. I brought it home in January, repotted in a 8 inch pot that I could barely fit the roots into, cut the spike half way down, and then decided to apply a little keiki paste to five nodes of the spike. A few weeks later ALL FIVE nodes started showing activity. The following pics are of the plant and all five nodes starting from the top and going down - two obviously subspikes, the bottom one a keiki, and two undecided.
