Thanks for the photos Ryan. I also grew hippeastrum when I lived up north. I loved them in pots around the fireplace for Christmas. Always a fantastic display. Yours is beautiful and I can see the variance between the two flowers you posted. It does make sense that temp would impact the flower. I also have spikes that have stalled, something they have never done before and I've had them for years. We had a lot of weird cold, wet weather here in Florida. Everyone, including me, was moving their plants in and out of the house way too many times.
Eyebabe - I have checked the leaves and outside roots. Since she is nowhere near her keiki and the keiki is also doing the same thing doesn't the virus seem less likely? Wouldn't it be odd for both mother and daughter to have the same virus when they are not living close to each other? Let me know what you think. Where would I go to get the orchid tested for a virus?
