I'm not taking any chances on moving plants in spike/bud , but I do have some to share that I'm very excited about!
Lc. Tokyo Magic 'Moonbeam' x B. digbyana 'Mrs. Chase'

Slc.Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.' you can see the blasted spike in the foreground , behind it is another on the way!

the Gerberra 'Snow ballet' (thank you Carol!)

Blc. Zul 'Waiomao Fantasy' this one has 3 other sheaths with the beginnings of buds forming!

You're welcome, Lindsey! Glad to see it's performing as advertised. The mother plant looks pretty bad from the 7 day rain in Dec. Lost a lot of leaves, but still blooming, as is the piece mounted on the lemon tree.
My Waiomao Fantasy has a spike also, but it's taking it's sweet time maturing.

its opening finally after a few spikes that didnt open. All i did was
move it a little lower on its trellis , maybe the tree in front of it grew more and now its in a little bit more shade.

Nice color!! Don't you love figuring it out!?
Lindsey, can't wait for all those blooms!

Love that color, Bree!

Me neither...hope I didn't jinx myself

I always wonder that but then I remember that I'm not at all superstitious!!

Isn't anticipation great?

It's half the excitement fer sure!

I have a orchid tagged Glenn maidment (blc. Sunstate Colorchart x George king) opening a single bud. Looks like a straight Sunstate colorchart though? Red with the depper red/purple lip and yellow striated throat. and floof alert coming up..hehe!

Great color coming up there!

OrchidWiz has Glenn Maidment as Rhyncholaeliocattleya Toshie Aoki x Cattleya Horace. Looks a lot like Blc. Sunstate Colorchart, I agree. It's a beautiful floofy!

oh ok so glenn maidment is toshie aoki x horace. Interesting. thanks Kathy!

Whatever it is called, It's a beauty!

Absolutely!!

Mystery Phal getting close.

Big excitement is a first timer for me-Ascocentrum ampullaceum is in spike!!! Oh joy!

aside from the expected excitement of blooms..I enjoy this thread because
most of the time I don't know what it will look like for a particular plant to spike.
I think I have an Ascocentrum (I'll have to go check) so this is very helpful. If
all those 'bumps' are flowers, it's going to be glorious!

Yes indeed!!! :hurray:
