Yes, spikes from the top of the cane. I'll have to go Google what a spatulata looks like... Thank you.
The Spatulata section is has all of those cool “antelope” looking dendrobiums, when crossed with ones from the phal section they make some beautiful hybrids. Those are mostly warm growers and I just reduce watering a bit in the winter when the growth slows down, but no true winters rest like some dendrobiums
