I have written about the sprout that appeared on my orchid after I had it repotted. I was hoping that it was a flower stalk and not just an air root. Well, now there is no doubt about it. After more than a year, my orchid is finally going to bloom.
What started as a little sprout earlier this month is now a stalk about six inches tall. At the top of the stalk there are what appear to be the beginning of buds. I have been turning the plant regularly so that the stalk grows upright rather than curving toward the sunlight. I still have the plastic stake that came with the plant to hold up the stalk when as gets taller.
Now, I just hope that it doesn't blossom and fade while I am away on my trip to Ohio!
