double spikes on recently blooming Phal Female
Default what am I looking at? double spikes on recently blooming Phal


I noticed the other day that one of my Phals has what appears to be two spikes emerging from the same place.

We've had this particular one since early June 2018, as it was a gift. Up until 3 weeks ago, it had been in bloom for maybe 3-4 months, maybe longer (including a second bout of buds after a month of initial bloom).
Something else we noticed was that the potting mix was unusually damp and that some of the roots had changed color from their normal green to a dark purple (they're still plump and it doesn't appear that there is mold or rot). We water all our orchids once a week, but haven't touched this one since noticing the still damp bark.


I've been helping my grandmother out with her collection of ~12 Phals for a few years, and while we have a number of plants that bloom up to 3-4 times a year, sometimes one spike after another, this is something I haven't seen before.


Is there anything else I should keep an eye on, or be aware of?
