Not sure why. Spike was really short and I was afraid that it will get burried back into bark. It didn't, but spike turned over.
There is one more spike with bud coming up. I wonder if that one will flower correctly:
I was repotting my catts and decided to make it more interesting:
Smaller one on the left is laelia alaorii - miniature cattleya with bell shape flower. O the right - laelia sincorana var. coerulea. I already tried to mount cats on this wood, but it was before tanks and didn't work in too dry house conditions. Hope it works this time.
This phal has several spikes and usually blooms every year. There are few more buds to open soon.
The latest spike came out sort of in the middle of the plant and I thought it was a terminal spike. Now looking at it closer, I think maybe it is not terminal after all:
We'll see if the new leaf will be able to come out there ...
