My very first spikes! (that I can take credit for) ;)

So... I've been MIA for a while, what with school and work and going away to Germany, and getting a new dog... and in spite of it all, my vandas seem happy, and have all grown about 2 inches ( I think) and produced TONS of roots... a few have new leaves just starting....

But here's the exciting thing! My Ascda. Princess Mikasa Blue and my Asctm Lilac Blossom both have happy spikes! I've even gotten around to taking pictures to show you

Now these were both in bloom when I bought them earlier this year, so this time, the blooms are all mine

welcome back, it's been so long you've been around! We've missed you! Isn't it a wonderful feeling to know that the spikes are there because of your excellent care? I always get this boost at seeing my orchids spike for me.

Can't wait to see pics of them in bloom!
