I was lucky to get an autographed copy of the book. Eric was at our society meeting this past sunday speaking on vandaceous orchids. It was an interesting talk and I was inspired to purchase a Renanthera Tom Thumb.

Basal baby with spike!
I have a basal kieki and it's sending out it's first spike on my Phal Tai Pei Gold X Cassandra #2 ! 
This was taken today!  ...
(See Dennis, it was a spike not a root  )

Good info on that link ! I had an experience where my Phal had crown rot. I stopped the spread with cinnamon. I was told that the already 2" basal keiki would take over, which it did. It became a healthy new plant as the old plant dropped its leaves while nurturing the new one ! The advice was from Tom Mirenda (hope he doesn't mind me dropping his name here !) whom I ALWAYS call DOCTOR Tom now !!! We're lucky to have him locally as a NCOS member !
FWIW, Merlyn

I heard that a spike down the middle of the plant will kill the plant, I would suggest that you make some keikis
Maybe look at this one

Get some keiki paste on the nodes on the flower spike and hopefully you will get some babys.
