Second orchid spike? not growing

[iqiu]

Hi guys! I'm new to this forum and kinda new to orchids.
My main focus is on phals and they're doing great on my northeast/north windowsill.
Recently I bought an orchid in spike, which is in bud right now and turns out there is another spike? Maybe...by the looks of where it's growing from I'm assuming it's another spike. But even though the budding spike is doing perfectly fine, the new spike stay in it's spot for well over a month already. Any reason to why this is happening?
I do water it when the media dries out and fertilize it once every two waterings or so. There are two pictures attached, please give a newbie some suggestions Thanks!!
