Enc Update

Anyone have a picture of a spike on this orchid? I'm too lazy right now to post pictures, but my Enc is doing very well. I started out with 2 pbulbs and a new growth starting in April 2008. By Nov. 2008, I had 3pbulbs and a new one starting. Now, May 2009, it's pretty crowded in it's 3 inch pot with 4 nice pbulbs and two new growths.

The new growths don't look like the former growths, so I'm wondering if they're spikes? Does the spike come from the top of the pbulbs between the leaves or are they coming from the sides of the base of the plant?

The spikes on this Encyclia will come from the top of the pseudobulb.
