Zygos don't actually have keiki's but they are new growths. These types of orchids, all from Oncidium alliance, are better if let to grow into larger specimen plants. They will not bloom unless there are enough of these pseudobulbs there. The flower each year from these new growths. As they continue you can get multiple growths with an incredible show of flowers.

This picture, although not a zygo but another from the Oncidium alliance, shows how you can have multiple spikes as the plant matures. This has 2 in bloom now with a third spike in the center getting ready to open.
