I'm either doing something right or something terribly, terribly wrong

I have a tiny little NoID phal I keep on my desk here (the one in my current avatar with the maneki neko). A little while ago, it grew a new leaf. Cool! I thought. Then it started growing another a week or so ago. Neato! I thought; I' not used to phals growing this fast, especially when it still has a spike in bloom, which it does. I just picked it up to make sure it doesn't want water, and ... WTF??!! That's a new spike coming up.

There is an open window in this room, so it does get a temperature drop of at 20F each day ... but it's still in bloom. Does my plant have a learning disorder? Have I finally figured out phals? (The others are leafing and/or spiking, but appropriately!) Or have I done something terribly, terribly wrong?
