I didnt see any spike damage at all...all I see are the lovely polka dots on the petals...the white fringes on the lip and the festive colors...overall the cute flowers have an elegant form and texture.
Thanks! Yes Camille I am the one & I intend to collect them all (apparently 32+ species)....
Bud it's the end of the spike where its missing a couple of flowers..
Thanks Ron! I wish You could just' pop over' and take a descent photo for me!
