Such was the case with our Oncidium (also known as a "Dancing Lady" orchid). Cheyenne gave it to me for an anniversary last January, and at the time, it probably had two spikes with 4-6 blooms on each. A timely grower, it bloomed right around the date of this year's anniversary, but this time, it put out three spikes with six blooms on each for a total of 18 blooms-- a record for us, I believe!
Here's a pic of the orchid in full-- you'll see that the blooms on two of the spikes have almost all opened, while the third spike continues to grow.
To give you an idea of how these gorgeous blooms came to be, here's a time lapsed rundown that shows their progression:
Day One: Ready to Burst
Also Day One: Opening Up
Day Two: This bloom had fully opened, and others on the spike were well on their way.
Some other pics I took of our Oncidium:
Two of my faves...Amazingly, I was able to capture these au naturel without the use of Photoshop or other enhancements:
