Default Kieki's first bloom

I bought this Noid Phal in 2013, but the mother plant got crown rot and when she stopped growing, she sprouted this kieki. It is now 2 years old and this it her first bloom and if you look closely, you will see the second spike. Like she's making up for mom's loss

yeah, I was happy to see the first spike and really surprised when I saw the second. Only looks like 2 or 3 buds on each, but I imagine there will be more next bloom cycle.

Nice recovery! It is always especially rewarding when a plant survives a crises and then blooms.
