Time for me to do a little dance

[Elena]

Okay, so it's not exactly roth 'MM' x 'Rex' and is probably not a huge deal for the more experienced growers but here's what my Paph philippinense var. roebelinii has (please excuse the dirty leaves)

I bought it last summer and it wil be its first blooming. I've been growing Paphs since last March and this is the first multi to spike for me.

 

[Heather]

I AGREE! Experienced growers would have welcome arms for a phily in spike!

 

[Gilda]

[Elena]

Thank you guys, I'm really thrilled!

How fast/slow do the spikes on these guys develop?

 

[Ron-NY]

Congrats...I love doing the spike dance...think I will do a few steps for you
I forget how long mine took when in spike last year. Maybe 4 weeks or so.

 

[Rick]

I'll dance with you.
I have a roebelini spiking now too!

 

[NYEric]

Good luck.

 

[Elena]

Ooh, a group dance, blooming marvellous :rollhappy:

4 weeks doesn't sound too bad.

These guys are real fast. I noticed the bract about a week ago in about the same position as Elena's and today its over 10" tall with multiple bracts.

This clone has consistently produced spikes of 7+ flowers for me.

 

[SlipperKing]

DANG!! I'll take the first divison on that Rick!

 

[jblanford]

Looks great CONGRATS!!!!. JIM.

 

[Elena]

Thank you guys!

Rick, it appears that you are right, it's grown a fair bit in the last 3 days. I can only hope for 7+ flowers though :wink:
