SPIKE!!

[Call_Me_Bob]

So today, i went to water the orchids. i was on my last one, a noid dendrobium that has been blooming since april. on the newest growth, i found a SPIKE!!!! it was in between the leaves just staring at me, saying

this is the fifth spike on this one! the first one got nocked off by accident and the i sold one of the spikes to my mother, she is a florist, for a wedding.

i dont have a picture of the spike, but will post a pic of the whole plant later

[Izzie]

I agree with Rosie- seems that you're doing something right! Can't wait to see pictures!

[Call_Me_Bob]

nice plant and its purple some call it blue, but nice plant mister...I just grow leafs and then they fall off...does your dendrobe grow in a coconut?

[thakshila smith]

I can see purple and blue both colors. Why?
Congrads dear.

I think it's probably the lighting/settings of the two different pictures.

I find this a lot when taking pics of flowers. The exact White balance the camera pics on the 'Auto White Balance' setting can vary a LOT giving rise to completely different colour looking flowers when they are actually all taken of the exact same flowers.

the color of the flowers in the first picture, is incorrect. its more like the second pic. the lighting and white balance were off. but its definitely purple! haha the last one is spot ON.

its not in a coconut! haha its in fine bark and [mostly] lava rock. it gets watered everyday.

i do have a keiki from a friend in half a coconut, and its growin well, however the coconut shell is getting squishy :\
