Hi! My name is Jenna and I’m from Buffalo, NY! This is the first I’ve ever joined/posted in a forum like this before. I’ve recently started appreciating orchids and they have quickly become one of my favorite plants! The first orchid I ever purchased is currently taking me on an adventure, so I thought I would share a few photos with other orchid lovers! It has only bloomed one time in my care, and when the blooms dropped I trimmed the stem back to the next node. Months ago, it started growing from that node. At first I thought it was going to flower, then as the leaves appeared I thought it could be a keiki, and now I have no idea! But it has been such a joy to watch and I hope you appreciate it as much as I do!
Welcome to you from Charleston, SC! I'm new here too. I have learned you need five posts before you can post photos, and you can find more info under Forums->About this Board->Tips for posting Photos. (I can't post a link either!)
It is an adventure! I have a Phal schilleriana that is doing the same thing. It started what looked like a spike, then sprouted leaves (but no roots) and now has flower spikes developing (but still no roots, so doesn't count as a keiki, could not live independently) So.... they do what they want to do, we just sit back and watch. (I'll post photo when it blooms, will be a month or two)
