Burrageara Crimson Pride with a snapped flower spike
My Crimson Pride developed a flower spike that buried itself into the leaf of the pseudobulb about 1/2 inch from the base. I tried to free it and it snapped off leaving a 3/4 inch spike behind. Do you think it has a chance to keep growing and produce flowers? I had a similar thing happen to my Baby Raspberry Chocolate oncidium but it turned into the leaf much higher up and it was about 4 inches of bowed growth that had hardened off some and I able to free it without damaging the growing tip and has straightened out and will flower.. Any advice about how to handle flower spikes that turn into the leaf and get stuck?
