Phal equestris blasting buds

Okay, I'm so stumped. I received a Phal equestris (2" pot) from Oak Hill back in early March (ordered for Valentine's Day but delayed due to chilly weather). Since that time it has done nothing but grow a lovely spike that is now 6" long but every single bud has blasted. And they're blasting very early on in development. Suggestions on cause?

Would you cut this spike and let it start over? Would you leave the spike and see if it eventually holds a bud/bloom?
