Spike/Keiki, Both? Male
Default Spike/Keiki, Both?

Hi all,
I have a small Dendrobium Kingianum with 4 pseudobulbs. There have been new growths developing on each of them for several weeks now and I wasn't sure if they are spikes or keikis, but figured I would eventually find out, but now one of the new growths has a secondary growing starting at its base (it's bright green as opposed to the darker primary new growth). Would anyone happen to know what's developing here? Thanks in advance! (I have attached pics, first pic is the new growth with bright green secondary growth starting)

First photo shows a keiki forming on top of the old cane.

2nd & 3rd: Too soon to tell whether these are flower spikes or keikis.

OK thank you! I'm assuming the small green growth coming out of the base of the new keiki then is a root?
