Default Dendrobium Question

Hello All.....

I'm sort of a newbie at this so any help is appreciated.

I received a dendro (that I think I've identified
http://www.orchidphotos.org/images/o...psis1_192.html)
with blooms as a gift in Feb. (mail order) and the blooms on the original
spike are almost gone. A new spike has emerged with a bloom and more buds.
Question: Is there a way to clip the first spike to encourage a secondary
flowering as is sometimes done with phals?.......or am I just being too
greedy?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Madeline
