Unusual growth on Brs Rex
I thought I would share this since I've never seen it happen before on a Brassia, there is a keiki growing from the top of a back bulb! It also has five new growths coming from other back bulbs, and two from the most recent growths. I'm not sure what I did to make it grow like this, but hopefully it will lead to a big show next spring.
Here is the last blooming from October:

Mine is looking really yellow and wimpy  So far I've tried all the tricks I normally have, but nothing. There is a small rootlet starting, so maybe something soon? |

Tony,
It's somewhat uncommon for that to happen... usually that happens to other Oncidiinae, like Aspasia. 
Great blooming, btw!

I saw that happening on a Cishwenfia sp. I got a few months ago. Im glad to know it is a keiki. Very cool growing by the way.
