Okay...looks like a Phal to me.

Did those spikes already bloom or are they yellowing before the buds pop out?

I'm going to move this thread into the Phalaenopsis Forum for more exposure

Oh, that's good news!

Not all Phal spikes re-bloom. Some of them just turn yellow/brown and die off. You should just clip the rest of those spikes closer to the base with a sterile clipper. The plant will then put all it's energy into growing new roots, leaves and spikes

Looks like a nice big fat root!
