Haraella retrocalla (Project 8 - Spring 2009)

[nenella]

Hi all,
Just to fill you in on my plants.
Harrie N°1 - which is the one I posted a bloom photo near the end of last month- the flower wilted yesterday - It lasted 14 days.
Harrie N°2- has also just opened it's first bloom. But the flower is considerably bigger!!!

I never really thought the plant was 'bigger' than N°1.. Looking at them closer I see that the leaves are!
I think that's Good News for alot of you as I have often thought your Haraellas had bigger leaves than both of mine! So you should all be getting 'large' (so to speak) flowers!!
Here they both are..Apologies for the photo - I took it in a hurry

I think - just possibly - that Cindy is getting a spike!
What do you all think?

Hard to tell, these things are so darn small! My first Haraella keeps on tricking me with roots. If you see a bright green end appear on it, then it's a root. And do the spikes usually come from so high up the plant? Mine is spiking from the very lowest leaves.

Cam - I had roots starting a couple times previously - this does look different to me - tho just have to wait a few days to be sure I think
About a week ago there was a new nubby which I figured was a root and turned out to be so - at that time I also noticed a 'bulging' on the plant inbetween leaves- this new nubby has come from that bulge - and isn't 'glossy' like the root tips are

so - not positive - but do think it may be a spike!
I will update in a few days when I should be more certain
