Asconopsis Irene Dobkin spiking?!?!?!?!?!

[Gage]

So my 3 Asconopsis Irene Dobkin (Asctm miniatum x Phal Doris) suffered almost complete root loss in the spring, but have been recovering, growing plenty of roots, and slowly growing new leaves since (it's a slow grower anyhow). Soooooooo, I noticed the other day a bulge at the base of one of the leaves of my bigger plant, and this morning noticed it has just barely broken through the base of the leaf. I can barely see a tiny bit of velamen in the crack, but this isn't an indicator of root vs spike because it seems that a bit of velamen develops around the base of some of my Phal spikes. I will have to wait and see, but I really think it's a spike! Cross your fingers with me!

Sorry for no pic. It's hard to see because of the dim light beneath the above leaf.
