A couple of months ago I was elated over seeing my first sight of a bulb
about to open. It did and lasted almost 7 weeks. In the meantime another
bulb was slowly emerging and I mean slowly. I clipped off the shrinking
flower. My question is that I've seen many bulbs on a plant like this,
but mine merely shows one at a time. Right now, with the latest bulb
about maturing, I don't see any signs of another coming. Am i doing
something wrong?


Are you talking about a Phalaenopsis orchid? If so, they don't have
bulbs.

Well shoot me...as you can tell that I am a novice orchid grower...but i
think you get what I'm talking about if you guessed right that it is a
Phalaenopsis orchid ) moth orchid variety. Just what is it called that
comes out of that spike...that is if you call it a spike.
