My Sogo Yenlin has a new leaf! I just discovered it! I look at them everyday...can they grow that fast?

Here she is...

isn't it awesome when they do that?? Good job!!

Yes! It's like they are rewarding you for your efforts

It's that tease that is keeping me going...the prospect of blooms

At least it is a healthy addiction....

I love seeing new growth...leaves, roots....I just wish those blooms would hurry up!

Yep, NICE! This the time of year it seems the Phals want to do some growing. I get excited every time I see a new leaf or root bud...ALMOST as much as seeing a flower spike. Just knowing they're growing so we must be doing something to their liking is GREAT.
ENJOY!

Can't agree with everybody more. I received my Phalaenopsis lowii a few months ago and when I got it it was dry as a bone and only had one leaf and the one leaf was pretty badly damaged. I literally thought it was on deaths door, but after sphag and bagging it, it is starting to grow a new leaf (its the last time I buy a plant from Thailand). Needless to say I am ecstatic! Of course, none of my friends or family or family grow orchids, so when I tell them about it with the same kind of excitement as a kid in an amusement park, I get funny looks. But hey, I have found that orchid growing is a series of small triumphs followed by the occasional disaster, but it is so rewarding when something good happens.

I just looked at mine and it is putting on a new leaf and what appears to be a basil keiki!

I am soooooo the same way! This last year has been a major learning curve. Every time I see new growth no matter what it is I am so happy!

I think the first time one of my 'kids' puts out a keiki, I'll be tempted to send out birth announcements.

Cheers,

Hahaha! My BF thinks I'm crazy that I am so into my plants. I told him I was thinking of giving them names, because it would be funny and kinda help when I talk about them, and my BF just rolled his eyes and said I was a tree huger. I told him what you said and he said at least I'm not the only weird person about orchids!! LOL
