I am so excited but I'm afraid I could be wrong...I have pretty good luck blooming orchids, even though I don't use artificial light. Almost everything I've ever tried: Phaleanopsis (multiple) Paph, Beallara, Burrageara, Dancing Ladies, Oncidiums, Cockleshell, Cymbidium, Colmanara, Psychopsis, Dendrobium (hard and soft cane), potinara, cattlaya, do grow and bloom for me.

I have issues with only a couple: zygopetalum, warm growing cyms and phaius. Phaius is the ONLY one I haven't gotten to bloom AT ALL. I've had this plant for at least 3 years and I've done everything I can think of....and I'm not sure but I think I may see my first spikes? Although they are still only an inch or less tall, they look a bit different from other new growths. They seem much wider at the base and they are growing wider than the typical growths, they are a bit thicker, too, and have teeny, tiny reddish spots? I haven't been able to locate any decent photos online of phaius spikes at this stage. Can anyone help? Could these be spikes?
