Is this a flower spike on my Schoenorchis Fragrans?

[DesignerofBeauty]

Hello!

I was just wondering if anyone knows if this is in fact a flower spike on my S. Fragrans? It's very small and located on the left side of the orchid, between the second and third leaf (counting the newer shorter leaf).


I have had the orchid for a little over a year, without it blooming once. Recently, it's put out 5 new roots, and then this appeared! It doesn't look like a root, because it's situated between the leaves, kind of how a phal spike forms. It's slightly purplish in color, depending on the light shining on it.

Also, while I'm here, is it safe to remove the wire supporting the orchid (as shown)? The roots have done a nice job of attaching to the wood.

Thanks in advance!
