Den kingianum growth

What are these new growth spots on my Dendrobium kingianum? I was planning on moving the plant into the garage to get a little cooler, but if these are flower spikes I may as well just leave it where it is.

Thank you!

They're out of focus. Might be spikes, might be plantlets (keikis.)

They're potential spikes [or keikis, depends on your culture]; if you withhold water and let them get cool at night [ie low 50s-low 40s; or chuck them in the Cymbidium/Alpine house], they usually push spikes late January-February. Give them water & fert and keep them warmer, you'll get keikis.

Thanks! I will put them in the garage to cool off and cross my fingers come early 2023!

Yeah, it's weird, between the HEIC to JPG conversion and upload the image became very low res. The original was clearer.

Thank you regardless.
