The plant with four spikes - the three spikes growing from the spot where the original broken spike seem they will not get as large as the others, but do look like buds should begin to open soon.
Good GRACIOUS, Sonya!

well - the plant with the 4 spikes, I broke the first spike it started while the spike was still quite small - it "compensated" by growing 3 spikes from the same leaf axis as the broken one, as well as one spike from another leaf axis. I think it's just determined to bloom, I guess ...
