Rfdra going mad!

[kiki-do]

Hi All,
I took these photos of my Rfdra which is a Rehfieldara Jerry's Pick that I got in bloom last year (closer to a year and a half). It didn't do much for the longest time, and in the past month it has gone crazy. It's producing spikes on the spikes....is that normal? It's so big, I had a hard time getting the entire plant. Otherwise, it looks healthy. Appreciate your imput on the way this is coming along. Seems to be a bit much for a normal spiking. Thanks for looking! kiki
