New Roots and Spikes too with Pics!!!

[cutie_monster]

hello fellow phaleanopsis lovers! i recently became addicted to growing orchids, i just love these plants. what's not to love...low maintenance AND beautiful, sign me up. i started out with two, then husband got another one for me, and then i got one more. so i'm up to 4 now in like 3 months, lol. since they've all been recently repotted, they must have got some new lease on life because they been growing like crazy! 3 of them stopped blooming so i cut off their spikes, but the other one is still going strong and putting out a new spike as well. i'm so proud, here are some photos...
