Very confused spike. Flower or keiki?

Hello everyone,

Been wondering what is going on with this spike. It can't quite seem to make up its mind. Has anyone seen something like this before? What do you think it is? There are 2 small leaves but do not grow directly opposite each other.... So based on that don't think it's a keiki. Keen to hear your thoughts on the matter!

It may end up being 2 keikis. Leaves some out one at a time. Corrections welcomed.

Just a sign of vibrant growth. A good thing.

Hi, Lillian! Lovely orchids. Just curious, what is that plant behind the orchid with the small leaves?
