Patti: I've been following your thread and watching the progress. My Naples night started a new leaf recently and then I saw a purple growth like yours. First started as a purple bump and now is about 1/2 inch. There's no green on the tip, so I don't think it's a root, although some of the roots are very pink. I really think it's a spike - at least I hope so.
Can't wait to see yours bloom.
