Terminal flower spike

[lindasbabies]

I’ve not been here for quite awhile but I have a question and a picture to share. I have a phalenopsis orchid, a no I’d, that I purchased 2-3 years ago and it was constantly shooting up flower spikes no matter the time of year and it wasn’t taking a break for vegetative growth so after a year or two of this I cut all the flower spikes off. It immediately sent up a terminal flower spike and I was heartbroken! I did post about it here at the time. So I thought my orchid was a goner and the leaves instead of being green started turning a yellowy green. I was checking on it the other day and found a new leaf coming out of the crown next to the terminal flower spike I had trimmed off! What’s going on do you think? I thought it could no longer grow leaves since the crown had grown a terminal flower spike!
