    Exclamation Enc. gracilis spike?!

    This was another orchid that I am crossing my fingers is actually starting a spike. This one supposedly has a very large lip that immediately caught my attention in the growers photo....so I hope my plant produces the same bloom. These plants are very slow growing but the flowers should be fragrant so I am excited!





    Sample of bloom:

    I noticed this possible spike last week...it is very slow moving. I have no idea how long this guy might take...I am guessing a month maybe. I already feel impatient!
