2 babies in spike!

Well by golly today is certainly a GOOD day! The first 2 pics are of my Alcra. Pacific Nova 'Okika' and although I'm SUPER excited to see a spike (will be a first bloom for me), I'm also a bit confused because I assumed that they bloomed from mature pbulbs and it hasn't even really developed a pbulb yet...
The 3rd pic is my Cptra. Sydney Smith 'Green Monkey' AM/AOS which arrived in spike when I bought it last fall so this will be the first blooming I can take credit for :D

Some Oncidium alliance orchids DO start spikes on immature growth

I agree about the immature growths and congrats!! Can't wait to see the pictures of your blooms.

Wow, that DOES look super early for a spike! First time to see this type of oncid, congrats!

My Cptra. Sidney Smith 'Green Monkey' ended up putting out 2 spikes:biggrin: Still 1 more bud on the first spike left to open and 1 on the 2nd just opened. My Alcra. Pacific Nova 'Okika' is starting to drop it's blooms but it's been in bloom for awhile so I have no complaints :)

They are both great! So rewarding when things bloom for us :)
