Growth pattern of Pleione

[RosieC]

I bought a Pleione in the spring and I was told at the time that the old bulb would shrivel up once the new growths got established. I was advised that I should then 'pinch' the old bulb off.

Well it has two new growths which are swelling at the bottom to form new bulbs... BUT the old bulb has put out two new growths from it's top recently.

While chatting to Nicky several weeks back she said hers is doing the same thing, but neither of us knew if it was normal of not.

What is happening here, and is it normal growth pattern for these.
