I read the heading and tought.OH my God.hope its not painful

I thought: hope it is not TMI!!!!

I am glad you are having success. My plants keep growing but anything that looks like it may be spiking is taking FOR FLIPPING EVER! Paphs can be like that.

I repeat the old saying...A watched pot never boils...to myself when I go out to look at my "growths". lol It is soooooo true....anything stared at won't do anything...go away and ignore it for a month and Voile' it sprouts everywhere! This applies to anything "orchid". lol

So true!!!! Good growing, Connie! I'm putting your dend pic next to my dend... with the salad shooter holding the pic up. Encourement and threat at the same time. Something's gotta work!

Actually, I've been watching this pot for a little while! This was the Dtps that I bought from an el-cheapo store for $12 about a month ago... Started having droopy, softening leaves and I ended up repotting it (thanks to a clumsy kitty) in bloom. Found icky slime mold in there and probably about 1/2 or better of the roots were rotted. I agonized about the possibility of cutting the spike, but when I got back from my vacation a couple of weeks ago I noticed it had a little tiny baby leaf-edge poking out of the crown! And the leaves perked up a little, too.

Now.. that baby leaf is already over an inch long! Sometimes I swear its growing about 1/4" a day! I'm still watching. It's still growing! (Of course, the catt's I'm waiting to see sheaths on are laughing at me....)

<Edit: My Onc has a new growth, too! How exciting!>

You're doing great! glad to see they are coming around for you. About blooming catts... well, have some patience. I have some that won't bloom for 2 years and then put on a real show. And some bloom on every new growth, sometimes 3 times a year... especially the Richard Mueller types.
