Your plant really wants to reproduce!
It puts a whole new spin on orchid desperation ...
Talk about survival of the fittest .. I bet Darwin would be fascinated ..

No Terri, the plant itself looks fine, just the way it always has.

If it were affecting the plant in any way, I would've cut this spike off long ago so that the plant could concentrate on it's own strength. I'm probably preventing new spikes and/or blooms from coming along but this is just way too interesting to get rid of

"this is just way too interesting to get rid of "
I agree....I would do the same!

It's also interesting how it has not affected the plant. You have a Super Phal!!

I think your plant's a mutant

Maybe you can try pollinating it next time, then again you might have to wait more than 2 years for the pod to fully develop
