Default Phrag Ecua-Bess in spike!

Steve,
Thank you for asking, but there is no news yet. Phrag Ecua-Bess is still in
spike, or rather it is in bud now. I am wandering which one will flower
first: this Phrag Ecua-Bess or the Phal that I got from friends here at rgo.
I plan on taking a photo of each of them when they flower and posting these
photos to abpo.

Phrag Ecua-Bess which I got from Rob's Little Frog Farm in May is in
spike now! Actually it has been in spike since late November, when I
first noticed the double leaf emerging which someone here at rgo had told
me is a tell-tale sign of beginning of spike in Phrag, but at first I was
not sure whether to believe that it really was in spike -- I thought,
maybe it was going to have two leaves there after all, better not to set
my heart on a spike and be disappointed. After returning from the
hospital with little Robert, at first I did not have time to examine all
the orchids for spike activity, but when I did, I noticed that the Phrag
now has what is unmistakably a spike and not just leaves. Yay!

Well, 5 weeks have passed. Joanna, maybe you said and I missed it and
maybe I just forgot but what ever happened to this one?
