| bulbophyllum new groth vs new spike!
Hello to anyone reading this! I have recently purchased bulb. elassonatum in a blooming size format, and it is currently producing two new 'growth'. I was happy thinking it was two new pseudobulbs, but looking at them I am not so sure anymore, they look a bit pointy to me.... But has I never had a bublophyllum and Medelia is lacking knowledge in that department also, I was wondering if one of you would be willing to post pictures of yours so I could learn to differentiate them on my own. I will post picture later on this week end. (Their is a show and I really wish to post all new photos at the same time!) Thank you for your time!  |

I don't have elassonotum (note the correct spelling) so I can't post pics but if you show pics of your plant and the new growths I'm sure we can help you figure it out.

okay! here's the monster! I'm nearly sure they are new growth, but as said previously I never had a bulb. before and I am hopping for spikes! Who wouldn't?

I certainly would hope for spikes, but they do look like the new growths on my dentiferum.

Agreed, they look like only new growth, which is still cool - but sorry.

Those very well could be spikes. I'd go so far as to say...I'm nearly 100% sure those are spikes. Keep us posted.

The bulbos all spike from the base of the pbulbs but that's the only "they all". Some are fat like these...medusae is a good example of a similar spike-age. Others have such thin spikes they look like threads. Some are long/tall spikes...some have very short spikes. Some bloom once from a spike...and others are sequential and go on for what seems like forever. Spiking and blooming habits run the gamut in this group (w/the exception of where the spikes emerge) so it's easy to be uncertain when we first see a new something or other sprouting.

My dentiferum has very similar looking growths coming out of the base of several bulbs, but they are starting to form leaves. I had a very small similar looking thing start at the base of one of the bulbs on my medusae, but I am pretty sure it blasted.

Well I'll cross my fingers and pray to the bulb. God for two spikes!

something I noticed on many (not all) of my bulbos, when they spike vs new leads is the spikes tend to grow up, vertical growth, whereas new leads tend to grow out horizontally somewhat first away from an existing p'bulb before growing up. Want to add: By vertical, I mean grows in the same plane as existing p'bulb, not necessarily vertical up. So a better way to say it would be grows alongside a p'bulb. But this isn't a rule, there are just way too many bulbos for any rule, other than the one Kat mentioned. BTW, I think they look like spikes also.

It is a confirmation, those two things are spikes! Flowers should be here in a few days! I'll post the pictures as soon as I can! |

One has opened but has it is near a heat source half the new flowers have burned T_T And the other has yet to open! Yet I am not losing hope. I just have a lot of problems taking the photos! They all get out blurry or worse! unfocused! I'll keep trying though! |
