I don't know a lot about this kind of Orchid, I need some help on it bloom, from the pictures can you tell if this is a new bud or an already flowered bloom? Or could it also be a bud that died before it got to open? Any help would be good...

I'm guessing its a mottled leaf Paphiopedilum, and it looks the remainder of an old flower stem.

Could you post pictures of the orchid itself?

Thanks, do I remove it? like my other orchids and if so how do I go about doing it?

Cut it down close to the leaves, as close as you can without damaging the leaves themselves.

Yes remove it, this sort can't grow further flowers.
