Default Consecutive Blooming vs. Simultaneous?

Well, the opposite is happening for me. I have a Jeremiah Coleman that is
opening all at once, rather than one spike at a time. So go figure.

If anyone else has any input as to whether this is cultural or weather
related I too would be interested in reading it.

All,

This has truly been a strange blooming season for me, and I could bore you
with the details, but just this question:

I have several Catts that normally each open their sheathes

simultaneously.
This year, they are blooming consecutively, i.e. a sheath will open,

bloom,
almost go by, and then comes another. While that makes for a longer
blooming season for the plant overall, it eliminates the eclat of seeing

the
blooms all at once.

Now, I know they are going to do what they please, but is there sometimes

a
reason for this type of variation in a formerly reliable simultaneous
bloomer? Something I did, or didn't do? Especially since it's more than
one plant!
