Hi all. New to this site. I have a rothchildianum paph. I’ve had her 6 years around. She is currently doing this. I know it takes a long time to bloom. Generally after starting to spike are we talking into fall to show off all her blooms? She’s been in a south facing window with sun in the morning. My temps are around 67 in that room along with other paphs.

Yes it’s a little hard to tell. When I’m looking at it i don’t see just green as if it were a leaf. I see stripes.
 
it is but buckle your seatbelt...you are going for a ride....could be a week to 6 months before it fully develops.....if it does.....I've had 6 months...fully developed buds about to open...then...blast...🤯
 
You can generally tell if a plant is starting to spike by feeling it up. If the crown feels fat at the base, it's usually a spike forming.
