...and...

Two more nice surprises when I watered today, neither of which I knew of until today. Again this is what happens when you ignore your orchids: they begin to vie for your attention!

First a nice bud, nearly above the leaves (so its been there for a couple of weeks) on my Masd Kara's Delight x Red Star.

And something I have never, ever seen before in my entire life: This Paph Black Falcon just finished blooming and I found a second, completely new spike emerging from the same growth. I've never known a Paph to have 2 inflorescences come out of one growth. One of the parents is Red Maudiae, a complex Maudiae-type so it could be one of those oddities that sometimes pops up in complex breeding, not really sure. Anyway I'm happy to have another flower coming and am eager to see it!
