I don't have much in spike right now so I thought I could live vicariously through the rest of you. Hopefully.

This is all my current activity:

Paph. dianthum (2 spikes)
Paph. tigrinum

Phrag. Barbara LeAnn
Phrag. Beauport
Phrag. lindenii (2 spikes)

and the Mex. xero. (which I bought a new pot for today!)

What a measley little list huh?
 
P. delenatii, two noid hybrids (one is a Deperle, I think), p. dianthum (one spike, one sheath), and my huge Phrag Sorcerer's Apprentice is sending up two spikes, which I just had to recently move as it no longer fits on my rack. If only I had known it was going to get so massive so quickly, I would have never gotten it, however, now that I have it, I can't let go of it.:(
 
I only have two slippers in spike. A hanne popow and a paph wardii.
 
I have absolutely NO slippers in spike, I guess they dont like me. I do have a catasetum, a phal and a catt hybrid in spike though.
 
Not too much right now :(

P. dianthum v. album 'Albino Beauty'
Several P. besseaes
P. Ashley Wilkes
Some first bloom Brachy hybrids
P. Sergeant Eric 'Thomas Fortsch Sr.' AM/AOS
P. China Dragon 'Windy Hill' AM/AOS
Several more Phrags (forget which ones now)
Several Cattelya species and Laelea tenebrosas.

Where did you get the wardii??

I got this one from Clouds orchids. I haven't looked at the tag in a while to see who the parents are. It grew really fast, in my opinion. Have you found that your seedlings are fast growing?

Blake, I don't have any Phrags in spike either. Except for the Autumn Fire which I bought in spike. I do have three of four Neofinetia in spike though, and a handful of Phals.

That's it at my place.
 
I haven't check the past couple of days; but I know I had the following:

Actress
Booth's Strap Leaf
Druid Spring
St. Swithin
Isabel Booth
moquettianum
 
Paphs in spike:
niveum
tigrinum
henryanum (another one)
barbigerum (2 more)
(moquettianum x micranthum)
(Impulse x leucochilum)
S.Gratrix 'Cocker Spaniel'
primulinum var. liltii
sukhakulii
Rosey Dawn
Caddiana 'Supreme'? How come this one didn't wait 'til fall?
(exul x Tyke) '#2'
Uncas
(barbigerum x charlesworthii) '#1' and '#2'
callosum

That doesn't include what's in bloom. Things are kind of slow this time of year.
 
I have about 10 besseae in spike, but I don't really expect much from the flowers (too hot). Some Don Wimber and other phrag hybrids. Not many paphs at all, my Maudiaes have gone to sleep for the summer, I guess. Three Magic Lanterns in spike. I keep hoping some of the big multiflorals will spike...
 
I have spiking or blooming:

Prince Edward of York
Edna Ratcliffe
Gege Huges
Rosey Dawn
Susan Tucker 'Yuletide'
Armeni White
victoria-regina
pinocchio
concolor

And then a bunch of Miltoniopsis,
Phal's (spiking again),
huge Onc.Sharry Baby with 6 spikes,
huge Mtdm. Bartley Schwarz 'Highland'
Dgmra Winter Wonderland
Dgmra Hani 'Star of Unicorn'
Wils Lisa Devos
 
Not much in spike around my place right now.

Paph Lynleigh koopowitz - about a week from opening
Paph Hsinying Alien - a few weeks out before blooming

Several of those less important orchids are also in spike to add color. And several old blooms from other paphs are hanging on.
 
not a whole lot right now. Miracle 'Victory', Maudiae 'The Queen', a Saint Swithin that I need to photograph, L. purpurata fma. carnea, phrag besseae.

And dozens of deadbeat plants with BS growths and no activity.
 
Only a few:

Paph primulinum
Paph hookerae
Phrag Robert Palm
Phrag Grouville
Phrag Urgandiae (This may not count, as there are two spikes blooming on it already. But a third spike it growing rapidly.)
 
It's Winter down South...so there are a couple of spikes here and there...I expected more
