kovachii spiking??

[phraggy]

I know I have posted this plant earlier in the week but one member thought this could be spiking. So I thought I would post another pic of the ' spike'. Do you think that this kovachii could be close to blooming???

bit excited Ed.

Yes it looks like it could be spike starting.

 

[eOrchids]

It looks like a spike!

 

[17andgrowing]

I say yes. Congrats!

 

[Hugorchids]

Congrats, it looks to me, keep the plant cool to avoid blasting

 

[theorchidzone]

Yes for sure. Looks like a well grown plant too!

EYOF told me that theirs flower in Sept. Ours in California are about the same. So looks as if everyone is on track.

kovachii are slow to progress when small, but it seems like adult plants bloom once a year, which is awesome.

[Erythrone]

Yep!!!!! That's what I thought!!!! Spiking!

 

[trdyl]

Oh the anticipation....

 

[dodidoki]

Yes, could be, but sorry, I don't like its foliar pattern. I think it has some problem with heat or light, maybe roots. You can see its flower, but recovery will be very long, if any.

And ten days on--

 

[17andgrowing]

Still on the train for the ride.

Congrats. Healthy specimen

 

[Paphman910]

[Migrant13]

How exciting!! Thanks for getting us fired up.

 

[Cat]

so excited for you! Can't wait to see a blooming pic.

 

[John M]

Coming along nicely! 'Looking forward to the bloom pics. Look at all those new growths! That's going to be a big, hefty plant one day in the not to distant future!

 

[phraggy]

Thanks for all your nice comments. I will post a pic every ten days providing all goes well.
The plant has now five new growths.

[Bjorn]

Wonderful! congratulations, was it an established division?

 

[phraggy]

Hi Bjorn. I got the plant via the EYOF which had one growth which had previously flowered and one more growth around 4" in height. It has grown very fast, not only to get to this stage but, as I've stated, it has put forth another 5 growths. So this plant is really pleasing me!!

That is a big pro to get an established plant like you did. Getting them from Peru strains them and may cause them to sulk for a while (might be years)
Envy you that one Ed lets hope it continoues like this
