NoID Baldans Kaleidoscope look-alike flowering again

[RosieC]

I love this orchids, one of my favorite NoIDs.

This year the spike got it's tip stuck and as the spike grew it formed a loop with the tip stuck in the plant. I've heard most people who have had this say they broke it trying to free it, so I just left it. Eventually it freed it's self and very soon after the spike split in two, with one part heading out one side of the leaves, and the other heading out the other.

The first shot was earlier this month when it first started to open, the second was taken yesterday after more flowers opened and shows the effect of the two spikes. I think it looks quite cool with the flowers on both sides.

Thanks as usual to my hubby for the pics.
