Depends on how many times the plant has bloomed from the same peduncle. A new peduncle after only one bloom looks like a little piece of extra stem, sticking out (usually) from a leaf node, with just a bit of "fuzz" at the end of it. If it's bloomed several times, the "fuzz" part makes it look like a little microphone. I don't have photos of any that are done, but here's one that's budding for the first time (the multiple peduncles at one node are not typical with most species...)

And notice the difference in this one, that has budded up many times - see the long "fuzzy" area, so if you turned it right side up and the budding wasn't there, it would look like a microphone...

Very good description Denise, a microphone. Heh That works very well for people to have a good mental visual. :)
