It looks to have spike nubbins!

Woohoo!

Congrats and good luck!

Awesome! :wtg:

"Nubbins" is perhaps the cutest word in the English language, right up there with "piglet" and "mitten".

Ahem... I'm excited for you! Can't wait to see what it looks like!

Peeling back the dried leaf tissue seems to have awakened them--one has swollen noticeably since yesterday!

Can't wait for bloom pictures! :)

Aww man today I found a little slug on one of the nubbins! >:( I can't tell if it did any big damage or not but it must've gotten at least a few mouthfuls. Rage!

Ah no, that's terrible! Hope you'll get them all!

It looks like the slug ate the first outer layers of the developing spike. I guess we'll see if it turns out to be anything. Damn little boogers!

Luckily a smaller bulb is also showing a couple of smaller nubbins so all is not lost...unless there are more slugs!

Chances are it'll produce another spike. When these guys are healthy (and yours is!) they really want to bloom.

I lost a spike to a giant slug that had been hiding in the pot (GRRRR!) last year and it popped a new spike shortly after the mauling.

katrina thank you for the ray of light!

That is beautiful....Congrats. slugs be damned !

More freckles this year. Well done!

Wooow! Worth the wait!

That looks great, does it have a scent?

Yes, it is menthol scented.

More pics because a year is a long time to wait.

Color really thrown off by the bright light.

Great blooms. I don't have any of this genus and makes me want to consider getting one!

Silken, it is really fun to see them transform from leafy giants in the summer to pushing blooms out of those cone-shaped bulbs in winter. They are interesting plants even without the flowers.

I know, me too. I hate getting interested in anew kind of orchid. But I do love how these hang down with all flowers.

Cambria you send that stinking slug to me, we'll see how tough he thinks he is. We'll just see if he can live out here in this dry area.

I really like the color on this one! And the number of flowers per spike is pretty impressive too.

It's just such a weirdo. And I love the menthol scent; I wish it was stronger.

Impressive display

Wow, it is really stunning.

Very nice. Well grown.

First flowers started fading today, over a month after they opened. Not too bad!

At least I get a little pink show before they fade completely.
