Naples Night---update

Ok, here are the updates on my two Naples Nights,

One the sad one, was my first and it had trouble with limp leaves...the first picture is on 5/10/08 still some limp leaves
Here is today's, 6/4/08, picture, not perfect but the leaves are a little firmer


I also got a new Naples Night with a spike, the first picture is when I got it on 5/10/08
Here is today's, 6/4/08, picture the buds have gotten much bigger! Nice firm leaves, it is doing well!
Also a close up of the buds

I can't wait too! Now I am even more excited about mine, even though it is not spiking yet.

It looks great! The buds are looking nice and chubby! My spike is getting longer-slowly.

You've really turned this plant around, it's growing beautifully. Will be waiting to see pics of the blooms!

Great growing.

Mine seems to be focusing on rooting. I don't know if it is because it is mounted but All I see in my is huge spark of root growth.

Congrats on the spike, it is beautiful!

Roots are good things! They are the promise of things to come.

I find that will all mounts the orchid increases the production of roots and results in less leaves and a longer wait for flowers. But then the roots are sufficient for the plant and everything else catches up.

Wow, it's such a lovely flower. Can't wait for mine. Right now, it's starting a new leaf, just like your older one. Seems that your older one that got limp is doing quite well now. Good for you!
