My dendrobium is developing a second spike.
 

I think my dendrobium phalaenopsis is developing a second spike next to it's current spike which just fully bloomed.

Do you think I'm correct about this? The three pictures attached are different light angles of what I am seeing, it's down below next to it's current spike / stem of flowers.

One picture is the orchid currently.

I'm just wondering. I've never heard of this happening ( if I'm correct ) so do you think this is a result of the fact that this guy hadn't bloomed in over 15+ years ?

Yes!

Cool!! Is this just because it's been so long since it last spiked or do they sometimes do this? Just wondering because neat!

The Latouria group of Dendrobiums can rebloom from the same stems for many years. I think your plant has Latourias in its ancestry.

That is super cool. Thank you! It's so pretty and it may bloom again. I'm so stoked.

it is a spike i think....they also make keikis there too.

as ES said, they can rebloom and spike from old canes and even old spikes if they are green

Sweet! Good info to know. I didn't know about spikes from old spikes so don't cut them if they are green. Got it!

WOW!!!Its absolutly stunning. I give you a lot of credit for being SO patient with this orchid. It does look like a spike but I defer to other, more experienced, members opinions.
