Multiple Seed Pods on Parent Plant

What are your thoughts about having multiple seed pods on a single parent plant? How many is too many?

Thanks Ray. I did notice when I received phalaenopsis plants the large leaves are bent upward. Does the grower dry out the plant prior to shipping so that the leaves are pliable?

Thanks Mook1178. I wonder if cut flower growers use this genetic trait to produce more flower spikes in a smaller foot print?
