Dendrobium farmeri third flowering

This is the 3rd flowering since August.
No growth the entire summer. I am happy but a bit worried that it is flowering itself to death!

I grow it intermediate to cool. This winter low was around 50F. This summer high up to mid 90s. But nights always cool even in the summer. Warmest evening around low 70s. Light lever cattleyas. Somewhat drying in the winter but not complete dry like Nobile.
The truth is, I don't give it special care, so I assume it jut likes condition in LA year round. I would say it does like moisture. It is in sphagnum and small bark. Also very light in fertilizers.
