New to Vandas--what branching does flower spike i

Hi~~~

Got a Vanda. Bansai Queen--Raspberry colored. The plant looks very healthy as does the roots. Is there a specific branching level from which the flower spike will emerge?

TIA~~~

If you're asking from which leaf the first ever spike will come from, I think it will emerge above the lowest mature leaf. After that, spikes will come from the next highest leaf, alternating sides, and so on up the stem.

Yes it will emerge from between the leaves. Here is a photo where you can see:
Old dried spikes, one in flower, and a little tiny one on the left peeking out.Hope this helps
