Sorry it was a bit difficult to frame this as I did not stake the spikes and allowed them to develop under a big dendrobium. Unfortunately as they lengthened, they developed composite twists and turns and now I have a medusa style St Swithin:)



 
THAT IS GREAT!!!! THE NICEST SWITHEN I'VE EVER SEEN! AWARDABLE QUALITY FOR AT LEAST TWO AWARDS, DISPLAY AND CULTURE MERIT, #/^*in good growing I'm jealous, can I get some pollen?
 
Thanks everyone! This plant has thrived without too much interference from myself as is evident by allowing it it spike while under another plant. St Swithin is one of my favorite multis, but this plant has been difficult to bring to bloom for me. I have moved it around the greenhouse in an attempt to find that 'right' spot. I should have moved it to a spot with more head room when it started to spike and then staked the developing spikes to coax a less unruly presentation.
Troy, you are more than welcome to some pollen, pm me an address:)
