It is weird that single back bulbs tend to flower first before starting new growth. You would think that instead of producing flowers, it would be more energetically inexpensive to produce a new shoot and better guarantee chances of survival. But I have had this happen to Grammatophyllum scriptum, bulbo lepidum, and now my Gongora claviodora. I think it must be very stressed to want to set seed..

The buds:
BTW, another 2 back-bulb division is starting a new growth and my main plant is also in spike..
