Evidently, putting forth flowers is somewhat akin to being pregnant:
Nobody wants to be that way all the time.

Aaarrrgghhh! Ain't that the truth?! Seriously, a lot depends on the health
of the plant. I tend to agree with Kathy; I don't like to overburden the
plant for the sake of a few extra, smaller and less colorful blooms. But
some Phals are so hardy and so inclined to send off keikis that it is hard
to resist. The 'City Girl' crosses come to mind, as they seem to love
pregnancy, and deliver keikis every year in addition to great flowers, so
they give me plants for the semi-annual auctions.

Basic rule of thumb: don't overburden the plant.
