Thats just it, Al...
I use the same amount of fertilizer on all my Phals, and its been on the same location as most of the others...
No changing oriontation, no moving around elswhere either....
And ive got two Phals spiking like this!
The other one finally come thru after i cut the spike of twize... It grew the spikes between two different leafs, before it made the right choice in spike-direction on its third try...

Both the Phals have bloomed just fine before, with two spikes every time...

I just dont understand what has happend... *lol*

Freaks of Nature, it seems like....

Edit becourse i forgot to tell this Phal has another spike as well... and that one is also growing like this, first normal, its growing inside the plant, with just a "lump" growing out...
Its going to be interresting to see if it really tries to bloom.... And by now, it looks like it will give it a shot...
