    Default Spikes everywhere in my Orchid room:)

    We've been having a very mild winter this season, except for a period in last Nov when we had a bit of cold which I assume prompted all these spikes. I was also away for about a month and when I came back I was so happy with all the orchid activity
    I have posted a few pics:

    1- Yellow onc with spike
    2- noid phal with two spikes one of which is on a keiki(I assume I should wait to remove the keiki)
    3- noid Phal with two spikes. This is a very nice one with good roots (white blooms)
    4- another Phal in spike- will give yellow blooms

    You are so lucky! We had an historically cold winter here in Florida. My poor orchids are looking the worse for wear, since I had to keep them inside for almost a month due to overnight temps in the upper 20's-low 30's (F). They are very happy outdoors, and miserable indoors--probably since I am not set up at ALL! Florida is NOT supposed to be cold. LOL
    I can't wait to see the bloom pics! congrats on all the spikes!

    That looks like one corner of my room...spikes galore. It's so exciting to watch them as they grow like this. I'll be watching for your pictures.
