Default Strange tripple tipped phal spike

My Phal Minho Princess has started spiking again... except right from the time I first spotted it it's had a tripple tip.

I know that this hybrid has always shown a lot of branching in it's spike in all pictures I've seen of it (and in the spike I had when I bought it) but this seems really odd for it to have these three tips on it from the beginning.

The picture is quite dark, but you should be able to see what I mean if you click on it to enlarge it.

I'm pretty new to orchids but that looks like it will be quite rewarding!

The tips have lengthened, really does look like it's gowing to grow into three spikes rather than one

Wow! Quite a healthy phal it looks.
I can't wait to see when it blooms.
