Yeah, spousal units can be so unenthusiastic about the most awesome stuff, sometimes! That's one of the reasons I am so grateful for OB! When my Little Stars is in bloom, the greenhouse smells of sweet spice...kind of clove, allspice combo....makes me think of pumpkin pie....

Oh that sounds wonderful! Perfect time of year for that scent.

OMG I just brought the Phaiocalanthe Kryptonite 'Blood Bath' in tonight since the temps were getting too chilly and what did I see? I think I have 4 spikes working (2 on 2 plants) and maybe another on the 3rd plant.

If the spikes poke out from in between the bottom leaves, then I might have blooms soon...
