Default Clowesetum Melana’s Daughter bud question

Hi all,
I need some help, please. I purchased this division of Clowesetum Melana’s Daughter last year at our local orchid club show and it has developed a bloom spike. I'm no expert, I just love this group of orchids, but does this look like it's going to have both male and female flowers? The buds at the end of the spike are round and the rest are pointy. Thanks for the help!

Very possible, or flowers also could be "perfect flowers", that is not dimorphic. Catasetum is, of course, dimorphic, but Clowesia isn't so could be either or both or neither. Patience, the plant will tell you. Well done!

Clowesetums only have perfect flowers. The sexual dimorphism of Catasetum is recessive.
