Thank you King_of_Orchid_Growing!
I'll have to remeber that the flower spikes are more compressed compared to the vegetative spikes.
So what is the "growth sequence" for bulbophyllums?
On my girl she had just finished/matured the pseudobulb that this growth came out of. She was also repotted about halfway through that pseudobulb growth period - and she did throw out new roots, thankfully.
Do they keep shooting out pseudobulbs in rapid succession like that? Or grow a shoot and wait a little bit before finishing - just doesn't seem a good thing evolution-wise, leaving a nice tasty morsel on a stick out there for others to eat.
Thank you,
Watermelon
