I've never had any of my orchids do this, anyone know what's going on?

That's what I thought too. Easy to snap a spike if you don't know it's there. gb

No breaks, been caring for it as usual and that's how it's growing. I'm looking forward to seeing exactly what it's going to do.

Current picture of my Phal, definatly not a spike, but now there is another area of new growth that's just starting. So maybe a spike on the other side.

[escualida]

looks like a basal keiki maybe?

[charlie7494]

It's definatly looking like one now. At first it was hard to tell if it was a spike or a basal keiki. Now to see what the new growth on the left side is.

I believe that the one on the left is a spike. Then, there is a keiki (basal) on the right; and a root below the keiki. My opinion only...BettyE

[RosieC]

The right is defiantly a basil keiki. The left could be a spike or root, hard to tell from the picture but I would vote for spike.

[Lagoon]

Don't wanna sound like a broken record here ... but one for sure is a basil keiki, the other does look like a spike. Its going crazy
Looks like you have the magic touch - Congrats

Just to update everyone that has been nice enough to help me with info the one on the left is definatly a spike. The basil on the right side is growing nicely also. Soon as it blooms I'll post more pictures.

I just want to give everyone that's been following the progress of this orchid of mine an update. The plant is doing great.
