Default Trichoglottis species - repeat bloomers ?

The pic showing flowers is of T. brachiata aka T.phillipinensis var brachiata - (and its not my plant) . Note that it is flowering from a lot of nodes all at once. This is very unusual in vandaceous plants - usually they flower from the latest -highest on the stem - "ripe" node - but this species ( under different names) is often seen in pictures like this, and I have seen it on sale like this too. The other pics are of my young plant ( bought 6 months ago) , now starting a spike (?) quite low down. In fact above it, several nodes look as though they have flowered in the past.
Thje question is , do they repeat flower from the same nodes ? ( a few things in tribe Vandaea do - e.g. Aerangis jacksonii - but not many and I don't know of any in sub-tribe Aeridiniae where this plant lives.
If not, how on earth can one grow it so well as to get so many nodes all ready to flower at the same time ?

I can't help with your question as I am waiting for mine to decide to flower. I am bumping this in hopes someone will know the answer.

picture #2 is not a flower bud... it is a keiki. they are vandacious but they can flower on every node all at the same time with no repetition of flower on the same spot; since its a specie=it will flower only once a year=twice if youre lucky...it is also fragrant and flowers last a long time from 6 to 8 weeks...I have a 4 ft plant with two keikeis now growing into a clump....I hope it gives me a spectacular show of blooms next season
