Phals spiking (I think)!

[LovePhals]

I have 3 different phals pictured, and I think they are all spiking within a few weeks of each other. The last pictured phal, has this growth overnight. It may be a little soon to tell on the third, but I am pretty confident the first two are spikes
I am hoping my Sogo Vivien joins in, when I bought it it was going out of flower. Of my 8 phals I think I have 3 so far with spikes. I must be doing something right this year!

Yep the first two are definitely spikes. The third is a bit too soon to tell, but it's in the right place. Nice job!

Oh so exiting to have spikes.

Congrats and good growing! Now you only have about 100 days of waiting...

Can I post a pic of mine too? This one's at day 50

[LovePhals]

Sure you can post a picture! I love seeing others have spikes too! 100 days… really?! WoW that is a long time. I thought it would be more like 30-40 for spike then another 10-20 days for buds.

Third one is a spike too. It's in the right place, and you can see that the thing pushing through has a bit of a wedge shape.

Yes, spikes take a looooong time to grow! Orchids really do teach you patience.

I think 2 & 3 are spikes, as Camille says you can see the shape that is pushing out is wedge like.

I'm not so sure on 1 from the pic, it looks pretty rounded to me, but time will tell

The reason I say 100 days is because of this video. I counted 85 until the first bloom, but the video doesn't start at the very beginning of the spike. Your results may vary

Yay!

3 months sounds about right
