Is this normal for a Phal?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum, just joined today, and am really enjoying all the threads, and finding it really interesting. I'm a newbie....so I need lots of help!

I received a beautifull Phal orchid in February this year. At that stage it was in full bloom, with two flower stalks, 10 flowers on each. At the end of April the flowers started wilting, and dying, as I suppose they should, but as they started wilting and dying, I noticed that where I thought the stem as such had stopped growing, it was growing longer, producing more flower buds. The result is, that it is now almost the end of July, and my orchid has not stopped flowering.

A third stem has originated at the base between the 5th and 7th leaf, and should be flowering in September I suspect. Will the above-mentioned affect the flowers on the third stem?? Is there something wrong with my Phal?

Please help! Thank you!
