Has anyone ever seen their phalaenopsis orchid flower stalk grow this way? This growth is on only one of the flower stalks. It wasn’t there when I watered the plant last time. Noticed it today while watering. It’s firm to the touch, swollen and ridged like an okra. The petals on the flower on this particular stalk has dried out but the center column is intact and is green on the inside. I’ve never seen anything like this on a phal stalk in all my years of growing orchids. Can anyone help identify what this is? Also, please advise if this growth is problematic or something uncommon but normal?
