I took the photo this morning and then cut the spike off. It was covered with scale. Ugh! Time to break out the Bayer. It had 16 flowers this bloom cycle. That is the highest flower count it has ever had. Unfortunately it may not be around much longer as I suspect it has a virus. If it tests positive I'm tossing it. It's really a shame. I've had it since 2006, and it is my oldest living orchid.
