I purchased this from Bombotany on 12/21/24 - repotted to semi-hydro on 2/7. On 2/16 inflorescence was noted - and now i have two blooms growing. I have not seen two flowers in other pictures, just wondering if this is usual for Delenatii or maybe just this particular hybrid. Thank you in advance to our more seasoned Orchid hobbyists.

Back when I started growing these in the late 90’s, one bud per inflorescence was by far the norm.
Sometime I think in the early 2,000’s, a new population was discovered. That group had mostly plants with multiple flowers. The ‘Dunkel’ form was discovered a little later. It was also predominately a double flowered form with much darker pink or purple colors.
