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.... Bruce Cedar Hill, Texas (cloaking device engaged) |

New spikes are my favorite thing about orchid growing. Joanna "Bruce Musgrove" wrote in message ... My first Spikes! Can you tell my wife and I are newbies?

I very much remember my first spikes, and that I killed the infloresence before it could bloom! No big deal, I got it to bloom again anyway. The first one is always exciting. Of course, everything in life has both sides, good and bad. The good part is you got it to spike. The bad part is, now you're hooked! :) |
