I tried a couple more pictures including a hi res close-up, and you just
can't get a clear look at it. The big problem is the blank area between the
upper larger leaves and lower smaller leaves. Several leaves have died back
leaving a open area and it is just a mess of closely spaced roots that make
it difficult to see the single straight trunk. Oh Well. Two new hi res
photos are just posted of the same plant. One of them gives a slightly
better look but not much.

I did take a few pictures of my Dendrobium's (Red Emperor "Prince") keiki
and updated the page I posted yesterday. I have had this one for about 6
months and the keiki's appeared about a week after I got it and repotted it,
and they have just taken off. There are three total of two mature stems and
they range from 5 inches to 10 inches long. It likes something in that pot!
I also added new root pictures from another phal that I just found
interesting. Reminds me of the old song "The worms crawl in, the worms
crawl out, the worms play pinochle on his snout"!

Sue, I see that as a basal keiki too. It would look like it is growing off
the main stem, because it most likely is.

Steve is correct on that. It is just one long trunk. 4 leaves at the
bottom, a couple of missing leaves and several more larger leaves. The
roots are all coming out righ where each leaf joins the trunk, on both
sides, at 90 degrees to the leaf. As if the root was used to pin the leaf

OK, no Keiki. Shucks It appears to be streaching for the light,
thus space between leaves.. But this is a new acquisition. So maybe
your situation will allow it to grow a more normal cluster.
