Very nice close up! I'm impatiently waiting for mine to decide to grow a spike....

Thanks for looking, Camille - wish you success with yours. It is, as you can probably imagine, way to big for my place.

I have a psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' that is just opening a bud today (slowly but surely). I can't wait as it has been sitting idol in between buds for quite a while now.

They are gorgeous, aren't they, but those long spikes ....

Mine are only about 30 inches long. I just love the alien look of them.

My growing space isn't much more than 30" tall (wardian cae).

They totally look like aliens!! Thanks for sharing!

Put a hole through the top and let the spike grow through! :coverlaugh:

I have space for a Psychopsis, but once it's in spike I'm going to have a had time avoiding knocking it around when watering and puttin it back under the lights.
