So, this is my NOID intergeneric. could be Tahoma Glacier Sugar Sweet or Pacific Pastel, or neither!
Anyway, it has two flower spikes on one big pb. Each of them carry nine flowers.
Just the other day, one of the spike bent over at the point of 5th flower from the bottom due to its weight as more flowers opened up. I was so disappointed because I thought I lost about half the bloom on that spike.
I put a taller stake next to that spike and tied the broken spike onto that stake hoping that the flowers would be saved.
One day later now, all the final four flowers open and they look fresh, so I guess the quick fix worked.

By the way, I noticed one of the flowers had some odd structure. I don't know what that small round white part in the center of the flower called, but each flower usually has one of them. One flower had two of them!
