Brassavola cordata - roots or leaves?

[andy83]

Alright,

I've had this in the viv for a little while and it has put on a lot of new growth. There are some threads on the first page regarding this orchid. I just figured that this deserved its own title.

At first I thought that the new little green guys that were coming out were roots. But now they're longer than ever and still quite green. I've recently noticed a groove in the root/leaf that would indicate to me anyway that this new growth would be three new leaves.

Another point to this is how this orchid grows. I have it mounted in a funny position in the tank but the leaves grow upright. These have followed the bulbs around a bit.

Leaves or Roots?








Thanks,
-Andy
