New flower spike on Cimbidium orchid

Great !

Nice

It takes quite some time for the flowers to emerge. This is one thing that I'm really enjoying about this site...I'm finding out when things bloom, how long they last etc. I like how the pics we post are dated. A photo journal of sorts :)

There with you. :-) I'm putting together the garden section to link site pics together for species reference. I googled us the other day looking something up.

Isn't it exciting when you see the beginning of the flower spike and know that you will see the flower soon?

I agree Skippy. I sometimes feel a little impatient though with these slow growers... but in prime conditions the flower, once it finally opens will last for a long time, unless the snails get it!!
