Phal. bellina sending up it's first spike!
 

I got this one from Peter @ Big Leaf Orchids last winter. It sat on the window sill all summer and it's rewarded me with what looks to be it's first spike!

looks like its doing well, should smell fabulous :)

Congratulations, it is a wonderful feeling to have your work rewarded. Can't wait to see pics of the flower.

Isn't Big Leaf grand?!

Looks great!

Exciting, can't wait for bloom pictures! :)

:cheer:

Very nice! My Samera from big leaf threw a spike also! My bud is about to POP!! Congrats on your spike, you probably have another month or two before a flower opens.

Here is the first bloom. There seems to be another bud just beginning to form. I'm guessing these species don't put up crazy flowers like the hybrids.

It's so pretty!!!

Nice plant
