| Love to see Paphs in spike! Well done! It might be interesting for some folks, if you have the time, to post a pic every couple of weeks or so to see the progression. Cheers

| i did a similiar thread a while back when my other noid paph flowered, but i felt i made too much of a fuss  I'll post a photo everytime a big change happens, i was abit over enthuasastic last time hehe. I do have quite a few plants in spike now, an onc sweet sugar, a den. and 3 phals, so i am over the moon, and i may have to buy a new orchid to celebrate Nothing more fun than a mystery noid getting ready to flower |

| Congratulations!!! That is so exciting! I have a question about Paph's. Once you cut the old bloom off, does it bloom again from the based of the same set of leaves? Or does it grow a new set of leaves and blooms from the new leaves? Thanks! |

| You are totally correct paphs will only put out one stalk per growth. Then you need to wait for a new growth to mature and put out a spike.A good way to count how old your paph is, if you dont divide it ( i think so anyway) |

| Congrats Sandra! My paphs all have little somethings growing but right now they all look to be leaves. That okay, get the leaf growth going and eventually it will be a bud spike in it's place. |

| This one is really growing fast, and even better, i can count 3 buds!!! The stem is too thick to tie to a stick so i have swappd the clip for a piece of rubbered wire attached to the stick and i'm resting the stem on that. The buds are already quite fat, not sure how high the spike will go, being they weigh so much. i go on holiday in 2 weeks....Gutted |
