Hi Tash,

I just got word back from my friend on the name of your plant. I told him I suspected it was Vr Tachete Gold and he says:

"Hello Nev
You're better at this ID thing than what you give yourself credit for, it looks good to me, yellow spike with spots. Was commonly sold as platynema hybrid or more often as platynema Rosea."

It's not that I'm good at IDing things, it's just that I have the same plant in my garden with three nice pups, and no yours hasn't flowered yet, the flowers are still to come.

The pic below shows what the flowers are like.

All the best, Nev.
