Ascocentrum christensonianum - four spikes on this minature vandaceous plant
I have never managed 4 spikes on a vandaceous plant before , but this one did seem to be growing well. I keep giving it pep talks, telling it to branch and produce some sort of keiki, so that I can have two growths to produce flower spikes , which I assume is possible ( without any evidence at all) but so far no joy in that department. The four spikes are closely packed together - one on each side of the stem,below a pair of leaves, and the same above the same pair of leaves , so that although there may be 100-120 flowers here, they don't quite give full value. If plants could talk back, I expect this one would be muttering about some people never being satisfied. Ah well, there's always another year.
