I hope I am not jinxing it when I make this post, but today I spotted a new spike!
There are a number of new roots shooting out of this orchid, but you can see the one towards the top in between a few leaves is the spike. It's hard to see in photo, but the roots have a silvery coating and a more textured surface. The spike is smoother and definitely solid green.
I had received this orchid as a gift either this past May or last May, I think. It had two spikes in bloom at the time. I'm not great at keeping orchids in ideal flowering conditions, but I am hopeful that this one will come to fruition - and if it does, I won't move it!!
