Al, for the longest time the one pictured had just one spike, and that one spike sat, idle, for about a year. Meanwhile, the plant grew leaves, roots, and in general got larger. And then the one spike started taking off, with two more sprouting out at about the same time. Two of those three spikes has taken off again this year, in addition to a new spike, and yet another is growing.
I have a second bastanii which is still considering reblooming from old spikes and growing one more and a third which is just sitting around considering.
There's ALWAYS hope. Phal. bastianii seems, at least in my experience, to be a pretty prolific plant.
