you are welcome... and yes people... c'mon!!

I had to update my entry, as the Blc. and both Lc. decided to opens quicker than what I expected (I assume I am terrible calculating days needed for a flower to open), and today I also realized that Phal. Mini Mark had a short spike under one leave, which I had not seen before...

You have to watch these guys. That is really true, they can creep up on you. I've got two on mine.

[camille1585]

Looks like mini mark season is starting again the three of us so far have spikes on them. One question about mini mark. When I got it last year the spikes where growing upright since they were staked when I bought it. This year the spike is growing out horizontally. Is that normal for it to do that?

[kavanaru]

I would say it's normal... I have the feeling all Phals I know grow horizontal to hanging spikes unless you keep the staked since the very beginning...

(I said, the Phals I know maybe others don't do it )
