New bulb or flower spike? Concerning growth on my weak Burrageara Nelly Isler Female
Default New bulb or flower spike? Concerning growth on my weak Burrageara Nelly Isler

Hey everyone!

So, my nelly isler has been through a lot of suffering, and I am concerned about a new little growth I saw popped up between the leaves of a new and immature pseudobulb.
I am concerned because I think the plant has been through a lot of stress just two months ago, and I don't believe it is strong enough to sustain an inflorescence.

You can watch the video I made (see link at the end).

Or you can look at the pictures I attached.

The plant is basically two little shrively pseudobulbs and one new growth.

Questions:
1- Isn't this pseudobulb too immature to be putting on a new pseudobulb growth??

2- Is it too immature to put on a flower spike?

3- If this is a flower spike, is it one of those that a weak plant will shoot out as a last effort to spread its genetics before it dies?

4- Is the plant too weak to sustain a new flower spike? Can I let this flower spike (if that is what it is) grow, or should I cut it off?

5- What's your overall opinion of the health of the plant?


I wonder if this is just a "wait and see" but I am new enough to orchids that any little thing gets me quite excited and scared at the same time.
Thanks, everyone!
