Paphiopedilum buds

i have a Paphiopedilum thats had a bud start to grow on a spike around 20cm long max. The bud has stopped growing for a week, although another has started to grow underneath. The plant itself is pretty small, i hope to get a picture up. i just wondered if all the buds will grow, then all open at once, or they open one at a time, or if theres something that is needed to trigger their opening. I have it kept on a shaded window, and have been extra careful not to over water, is there anything else i could do to speed up blooming, i love paph flowers, and cant wait to see it open
