I bought a moth orchid in July 2010 and it was still in flowers July 2011,But was looking a bit tired.So I cut the stem of only to see a new stem coming on the other side.But it did have a rest and looking lovely now with its new flowering stem in bloom.
I always have about 8 in flower and another 12 resting or just starting sending up a new stem.
I have stop buying fresh flowers because you can get an orchid for £6.00 and it would last 6 months or more..
