Default Phalenopsis orchid

I bought one of these some time ago and it has bloomed from around
March until a week ago, when the flowers started to wither and drop
off. Pretty good value, I'd say. BUT having transferred it to the
'hospital' window in the kitchen, I glanced at it the other day,
wondering if the stem was dying back, To my surprise and pleasure, one
withered flower was still clinging on but further up exactly the same
stem, new buds are forming. I've never seen this happen before on any
of my other Phals.
