    I have always wanted Trisetella hoeijeri and finally got one this past Spring from Andy's. Well today I was poking around in my intermediate/cool growing area in my basement and found a spike on it today :D:cool: It is a small plant so I am happy with only one spike, hell I am just happy I was able to grow it and have it spike at all for me. It is starting to swell on the end so the flower is developing so know I sit and wait hoping it doesn't blast on me.

    Congrats, Tom. It is a wonderful genus and T. hoeijeri is the best in the genus IMO!

    Another spike emerged and flowered for me!!!! I was actaully going to force myself to find time today to take a picture of the flower but it is already fading. I thought it would last longer than 3-4 days, oh well I am just happy as hell I got to flower it :D
