Pyschopsis Mendenhall 'Monarch' AM/AOS (Butterfly x papillo), another member put my over the edge - couldn't resist! It has a double spike, the other hasn't opened yet.
If you've not had these before: Don't cut off the spike when the flower drops because they keep on producing flowers, maybe for years. Sort of like Phrags.
Thanks for the reminder, it's been a long time, as I killed my first one after blooming. (Thought it needed a bigger pot). I won't make that mistake again!
have a question, if the bud which was growing on one of the spikes blasted, would there still be another flower coming from the spike ever or is that spike 'killed'?
Nick, I think that they flower sequentially so as long as it wasn't the last flower that blasted, it should have another bud (or many more buds) to come.

Thanks, after all you were the one that put me over the edge! As I indicated I think my sanderae needs another year, I saw this & couldn't refuse. The bad news is the bud on that second spike blasted, but I'm leaving it alone, I know better!
