Yup its a pahleanopsis! That little green thing on the end of the spike (stem) is just the end of of it. It won't bloom. you can check out the American orchid Societies website and they have a culture sheet for phaleanopsis on the website! AOS | Members Only Area

Thanks

Thanks for all your replies...It did not bloom...
However, I have two new spikes and one of them is in bloom now. The end of the spike has a bud similar to that I have shown...
I think i am learning more about orchids and their structures...
Thanks a lot....
