Default My first spikes!!

My first Spikes!
Can you tell my wife and I are newbies? We have a unknown Phal from Home
Depot that now has a 6 inch spike. It seemed to just appear overnight! I
also have 2 inch spikes on my Dgmra. Winter Wonderland 'White Fairy' . This
surpirsed me. We bought this plant at a local garden show last April, from
the North Texas Orchid Society becasue it smelled so nice. It was in dire
need of dividing and repotting, so I did and promptly lost the blooms and
spike (newbie mistake) but it has since put out new growth and spikes on the
new growth. I wasn't expecting any until next year....
