indeed I bought mine because it had all these weird little arms on it look like a little stick man.
Of course this new branch didn’t really begin to come out until after all the other flowers were almost gone.
fyi, this is only where I took the picture it’s not where it usually stays.
In the photo the arm on the left bent down to the 90° angle, when those blooms died, the part that was down 90° died and so I cut that off. The new branch Eventually appeared underneath that particular branch.
Many of the buds on the plant when I first got it never did bloom, i.e. they were not viable by the time I got it home and then with the adaptation to its new place.
none of the other orchids had so many arms/branches when I bought it — either one branch off the spike or none.
