Pat, the reason I mentioned mule ear oncidium is the pseudobulb of mystery plant are similar to my Onc. papilio and the flower spike originates from top of pseudobulb on the papilio. I would be willing to bet there are others in the oncidium alliance that produce a spike in this fashion but I am not familiar enough with them to give examples. I do remember Toddybear having a Beallara (not !00% sure it which onc. alliance it was) that produced a flower spike from the top of pseudobulb after producing normal side spikes.
Whatever it is we all be waiting for it to bloom.
