Do you think this is a spike? It is only about 1/8" long, the close up makes it look so much larger.

Al

That DOES look like a spike! How cool is THAT!

Hi Becca,

Mine are just kind of hanging around too. They're just staying green and happy looking...so don't worry, you're not alone.

That looks pretty spike-like to me...These guys are such tiny-cuties!

It sure looks happy Al! You must be doing something very right.

Oh boy oh boy. There is a bud on my cool plant.

Here's an update on my Warm project plant...I'd mentioned the beginnings of a spike on 9/18/08. Here's the spike as of today:

As promised, I will NOT post photos of it when it blooms.

the new growth on mine is about 1 inch tall and i'm hoping for a spike soon!

Here is the itty bitty cool one in bud. If this worked.... Carol

Hey folks....after seeing the photos that were posted, and paying a little closer attention to my mystery plants, I discovered that I've got buds!

Here are pics of my little itsy bitsy spikes. I hadn't even noticed the one on the warm grower...the stem is as fine as a thick hair. It is a little yellow in color, and there is also a small brown portion near the base... having just discovered it, I hope this doesn't mean I'm losing it. I guess time wil tell.

On a happier note, the little nubin I noticed on my intermediate grower is indeed a spike. I needed to photograph it and enlarge the image to really see it. it's nice and green, which makes me nice and happy.

For those who might not know, the first photo is the warm grower, the second is the intermediate.

David...I don't think the coloration of your Warm plant spike means you'll lose it. The spike on mine is exactly the same way, and at this point, the buds are definitely starting to plump up. Well...they're so tiny, I don't know if "plump up" is appropriate verbiage. YAY!
