Ow, so many replies! Thanks you all guys!

I need to say that this spike came from an old bulb... last year I got 7 (:bowing) spikes in this plant. This year I got only one, but still awesome!

Imagine the plant of the photo with seven spikes! I got crazy! I must find the pictures to show.

Thanks you all. I will post some news soon...

Some variety throws two spike per pb, so if you have a few year old sharry baby of that clone, then tons of flower show! Mine makes one at a time, but it is huge! so the size makes up for a single spike.

You are right. Sometimes there are two spikes per bulb.

I've been checking out on mine and unless I'm very mistaken it had 4 spikes on the same bulb. Here are some pictures from when I bought it in October 2011 The two spikes that were not in bloom yet, bloomed with less flowers and less time as the two bigger spikes.

I hope I get at least two spikes from my new growth, but I'll be just as happy when I only get one spike. As long as it spikes. It would be my very first onc rebloom (I'm now experiencing my first miltoniopsis rebloom and my zygo louisendorff is spiking for the first time for me).

Well, I am not an expertise, but I think anything is possible :)

In my experience even bulbs that have only spiked on one side of a bulb will spike from the other side later. I have 3 spikes on one of my SB that are comming out of old bulbs that have already flowered last year. The only thing I have noticed is the thickness of the spikes is thinner. Mine are a good month to month & a half away from flowering.

Wow. They can bloom from old bulbs. That's great news. I hope mine does. It hasn't any new spikes coming though. I'm waiting for the new growth to mature to see if it spikes. I can see the base of the new growth is fattening, but it goes soooo slow (or perhaps I'm too impatient).

Luis Renato 07-04-2012 10:48 AM

Thats a good new for me too. Maybe next year I get more spikes in this one!

Wow! Lots of flowers. Good growing.

Your plant is not Sharry Baby though. It is a different hybrid with SB in the parentage. but 4 spikes on the same bulb is quite something!
