Greetings everyone...
Our mystery growth continues to emerge this morning from our previously neglected/now pampered Phalaenopsis orchid (correction... dendrobium orchid, with much thanks to Janet). My wife is certain that it's a new spike appearing. I want to agree but am afraid that I may jinx it and then it will turn out to be some kind of leftover Katrina fungus...
YIKES!! This is rather difficult as neither of us have ever experienced the wonder of a new spike appearing
or multiple Keiki poping out, especially on the same plant!! This is nerve racking... I feel like the expectant father in the waiting room. But since this is New Orleans, I guess I'll just pull out the Voodoo gris-gris and sprinkle some goofer dust and hope the wife is right. Arn't they always!!!!
Here is another photo just moments old...
If anyone can shed some light on the mystery growth... maybe I can calm down
