Mormodia growing inverted spike?

[greenhouseFrog]

I got this Mormodia Barnabas Collins while SVO had their holiday sale going on—lucky for me, I got one with a spike just emerging.

As the title suggests, the spike has grown inverted: it’s growing up instead of downward in a pendulous fashion. I have a vague recollection of hearing/reading about a similar(William Green, I think) experience when growing on a white/light colored surface.

Is there any way to reverse this or can I still enjoy these(assuming they bloom) in their upward orientation?

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

Changed its mind!

Unrelated, but the spike is also growing a root

Let it do what it wants to do, and enjoy it. Orchids don't read books...

Thank you, Roberta—I am especially excited for this “TV vampire” to bloom!
