Coelogyne speciosa...question!

[biothanasis]

Hello,

I got this on past September and in the last weeks this growth has appeared! Is it a psb or a flower stem or sth??? Sorry for the poor quality of photo...

 

[Candace]

It rather looks like a spike to me.

 

[SlipperFan]

Me, too.

 

[nikv]

Me, three.

 

[biothanasis]

Great news for me then... Never had a coelogyne before, so this is surprising... TY...!

 

[paphjoint]

its a flower spike

:rollhappy: that's OK biothanasis, if it hasn't bloomed before, how would you know? I have several bulbos that I think & hope are spikes but they're new growths, which is actually OK cause that should lead to flowers!

We only have 1 Coelogyne, but its spikes look like that, and then the new growth comes right after it in the same spot. The bracts seem to keep growing and become leaves.

 

[Ron-NY]

The spikes develops from new growths on most Coelogyne species. Speciosa is a sequential bloomer ...congrats!

 

[NYEric]

Good job. Keep us posted!

 

[biothanasis]

Sorry for the poor photo quality, but things got a little

You can see (I hope) the two lobes formed on the end and under part of the bud... Is this the lip forming???

(When is it going to open??? LOL)

 

[biothanasis]

Bud is going to blast...
