Is it just me or is everything blooming? Must be springtime. Can't wait to see the bloom.

Are we looking at that tiny slit over the bottom leaf? If so, that is the earliest I think anyone has tried to call a spike - yowser, I'm impressed if it is..........

Thanks, Bunny! I know that it's tiny, but it wasn't there a few days ago, so I'm hoping.

Mayers- That's why I'm still using a question mark! I'm hopeful....I'll keep watching it. It might be the start of a new root- We'll see. Hopefully down the road, I can call it a spike for sure!

Patti,

I sure hope it's a spike. If not, then it's a sign that your Phal Naples like the environment it's in. Mine is doing nothing at this time.

Patti, Jerry did say that some of the Naples Nights were starting to spike. Maybe your growth was just below, still hidden in the medium What a wonderful thing to finally see the flowers on that little chid--please keep us posted with progress reports

And congratulations on your new growth--whatever it is

I stare at it, and it stares back at me. I tell it to grow, and it laughs at me. It's giving me attitude

Hooray!!! A spike!! Great growing, you are an awesome orchid mom!

my little sad Naples Nights is still hanging in and I think it is going to make it, fingers crossed!

I do have one with a spike and buds can't wait to see those beautiful flowers.

Great job Patti
