There are some species which tends to have even female and male flowers on the same spike (e.g. Ctsm. atratum), and some other species are more likely to do this... also to produce hermaphrodite flowers (normally combined with male or female or both on the same spike). Ctsm. üpileatum is not one of them, but it does not mean it cannot happens. I have seen some doing it... it is just less common!

Your plant is very strong! the new PB is more than double the size of the previous one, which shows also you have done a great job!
