| What I found today... I found this little beauty at Home Depot, it's a NoID, marked down in price bc one spike was broken, and the blooms are sort of fading. I also noticed a little growth on the one spike, and was wondering if it is a keiki. BTW it had THREE spikes, which I was amazed bc the leaves on it are not all that huge. Unfortunately one was broken. I've repotted, and the roots looked pretty darn good, just a few needed to be trimmed. I just couldn't resist this one.

| pretty flowers. looks like you stumbled upon something good. surprised that your hd lets you buy a reduced price. ours doesn't and it makes me mad. i walked through yesterday and all the babies have what looks like aphids.

| I would have snatched that up in a second, it's gorgeous. I've never known leaves to grow on Phal spikes. I'll bet that's a kieki, sure looks like one. Enjoy your beautiful orchid! |

| That's gorgeous! I would have bought it too! I'm a sucker for multi-colored flowers. I don't think what you have is a keiki. It looks to me like a confused little node that has become thickened and elongated. That said, I'd certainly leave it on the spike and see what happens! |

| Alright, I want some more opinions on what you all think that little growth is. I got 1 person that says keiki, and 1 that says confused node, lol. Come on opinions!

| With complex Phal hybrids, which yours certainly is, small leaflets sometimes grow at the joints/nodes of the inflorescence. Sometimes they just stay a little rogue leaf, sometimes a keiki will sprout. You'll just have to wait and see what yours does.

| So far no keiki, just a leaf. Keiki leaves don't wrap around the spike.
