Orchids can skip a year of blooming for good reasons, or for no apparent reason. If a plant is healthy, and is getting the light, temperature, and water that it wants, it'll bloom eventually. Orchids teach patience.

(I think my record for a non-blooming plant that eventually put on a very nice show was about 12 years... obviously one that didn't take up much room while it was just slowly growing and being ignored)
