Phalaenopsis kunstleri

Something strange started to grow from the bottom leaf axis on Phal. kunstleri. The location is not usual for the root, but it doesn't look like spike to me either.
I got it in the fall as a medium seedling, so it could not be spike already. Any ideas?



Image probably has to be clicked to enlarge and see what I am talking about.

New phals repotted

Since my new phals are marked "potted 10/10" and moss looks a bit too dark to my liking, I dared to repot them. Not only repot, but repot into moss again! I put roots of each plant on and around a small packing peanut, carefully wrapped sphagnum moss around and pushed everything into pot.
Here is how they look now.
Phalaenopsis modesta had small keiki that fell off the plant so I potted it separately into tiny plastic pot. If it will survive and grow at least one new leaf - it'll become Phal modesta II and will earn it's own label.

an here is the keiki:

Phal sumatrana:


Now is the hardest part - keep them alive in sphagnum moss.

Cloud's orchids order

This is the batch from b-day purchases.
Bunch of phalaenopsis and vanda seedlings, again, probably years before blooming:
phalaenopsis modesta, sumatrana and kunstleri
vanda suavis and liouvillei
On the back there is cattleya forbesii which I didn't order but it was a free gift with purchase.
Also on the back is a bag with sphagnum moss to repot my phals.
