A new cane from a new "dead" cane?

[kjennings94]

Hello all!

At the beginning of summer, one of my dens. had a new cane shoot but it turned brown, whilst the rest of the plant remained healthy.

Now, it's late summer and the wet season has begun again and I've noticed on the "dead" cane shoot, a green bump near the base.

If fact, all of my orchids have new bumps on them - and i know for sure that they are new canes.

BUT what about this particular den. orchid with the "dead" cane? Is it really possible another new cane could grow from it?

If you have any idea or know for sure an explanation - please do tell!!! I've never seen this before!!

Cheers )
