More keiki?!

Phalaenopsis pulchra is growing something simultaneously from the two nodes on the same spike:



I am pretty sure both are the keiki. Am I right?

Phalaenopsi pulchra update

Since its arrival in June, Phal. pulchra grew new leaf and it came out normally colored but somewhat small. Now it looks like the next leaf is pushing out while the previous is not grown fully.
Usually smaller leaves mean problems with roots. It is possible, because it also produced whole bunch of new roots at the base:



One of the spikes activated the node and there is something growing too. Maybe a bud or a new branch of the spike:



And to my amusement I found the whole new spike coming out of the moss, below new roots:



Maybe there will be blooms soon.

Phalaenopsis pulchra

Mature plant of Phalaenopsis pulchra has two spikes growing. There are some good roots too.
Looks like plant was overheated - those strange patches on leaves. Will see how the newest leaf will turn out, hopefully healthy.
