Rarely, they can branch, but I wouldn't hold my breath!

Please help! I have an oncidium that was shooting up a flower stem that
is about a foot tall now. The other day, as I was swatting at a fly
buzzing around my orchids, I accidently swatted off the tip of the
flower stem! The tip has now become brown and shriveled. My questions
are (1) Will the flower stem still produce blooms? and (2) Is there any
way to coax more growth out of the stem?

Thanks for your time.
