There is a couple ways to think about this. One is how many "waves" of growth are there? Orchids tend to grow all their bulbs at once, then start again, sometimes punctuated by a rest period. Almost like generations. Any healthy plant should have a normal amount of generations. Most plants wont grow 10 generations of bulbs a year, when the norm is 2. No matter how well grown they are. Another aspect is how many leads does it have? How often do they multiply? A very vigerous plant will develop new leads a lot, which makes the plant gain size very quickly. I suspect your plants have developed a lot of leads so they grow many bulbs at once.
At least thats how i think about it with Cattleya. Might be different with Oncidiums.
