I think Becca and Terri are right. Here is another picture, I hope you can see it a little better. I think it's missing a petal or two and they seem to be at odd angles. Hopefully the other buds will come out a little better.

Maybe the first bloomer just wanted to make a statement 
It is still the first bloomer from those not received in spike 
I'm sure the following blooms will be perfect  |

Julie the bud to the right looks nice and fat. I'd bet that one will be normal. Can you tell if this is this plants very first blooming? Mine has bloomed before, there are the remnants of an old spike still visible. Sometimes a first bloomer does strange things. I have a P. equestris that had one bloom right in the middle of the spike that had no lip. All the other blooms looked normal. One of those oddities of nature I guess.  |

Sue, maybe you could just update the arrivals list. That already has who got one in spike and who didn't. I'll email you with my particulars. Thanks! |

Great minds think alike
That's my plan but I'll need input from anybody who has some sort of significant growth and/or blooms and the dates that those things happened

Terri it looks like it is the first bloom for this there are no remenants. That's also what I was thinking when I saw it, also it does seem a bit small as far as the length. Or......maybe it did just decide to do it's own thing, it sure would'nt be alone in this house LOL

Ross, you're probably only about a week away from blooms. You'll be surprised at how quickly they develop from this stage. Great growing! Our only double spiker.  |
