    Default Something weird - or maybe I just don't know enough!

    Actually have two questions.

    Here in Sydney we are mid autumn with temps varying between 45 and 75 fahrenheit each day.

    I wasn't really expecting it but my orchid which I have had for less than 12 months has kicked into growth again and has a rather long spike (is that the term?) with 15 or so ready to bloom buds. Is this normal i.e. Autumn/Winter growth and flowering? I just assumed after Summer it was done?

    The main reason I am here though is a question about this weird tuberous growth thing on the bottom of the plant - I have no idea what this is?

    It basically looks like a large fat brown worm with saran wrap around it.

    Can someone tell e what this is and how I should treat it?

    Thx!
