question about my dbl. spiked Phal. noid

I was checking out the buds on my double spike Phal. and there was one "bud" that didnt seem right from the start. Now Im thinking that its a subspike. What do y'all think? Its never had a double spike before let alone any subspikes.

Way to go, Exasperatus. While genetics must play a part,it's got to be one happy Phal. to branch like that--congratulations on good growing!!

and to think its got a room mate (which never blooms) in a 10" pot in a south window. I was going to seperate them & repot when I discovered that it was first starting to spike.

Hopefully that will perk up the lazy one. I can't wait to see a picture. Those buds look like such a beautiful pink shade. Congratulations and I hope you get twice as many as you usually do.

Congratulation Exasperatus2002. Not only you have double spike after a long wait, you are rewarded with a branching spike.
