Lucky you - 8 months. I had a noid in bloom for 11 months. I cut the spike off a couple weeks ago so I could repot and give it a chance to rest before spiking again. I was concerned about it spending so many months putting energy into flowering. Now it can concentrate on new growth. Sounds like you have a winner there.
