It does what it does... there's no special treatment on my part. One thing... I think you mentioned that it was just opening. I have found that with many (even most) of the Angraecoids, the spurs tend to straighten out as the flowers mature. (They are kinked up in the bud, so take a bit to reach their final configuration) So give them a chance to finish opening. And with any orchid, even if the first bloom is less than ideal, the next time is often better. Patience is key before coming to any conclusions.

Agreed. Just curious as it's the first time I'm seeing spurs grow. Starting to straighten out a bit now. Curious things.
