It was grown in a very bright, warm, breezy environment where it thrived. It had enough energy stored in all the back bulbs to warrant a bloom. Now it is much cooler and from the color it has not received enough light for the size of the new growth to bloom. Carefully introduce it to more light as this season progresses until it is a pale green. Not yellow/green but a pale green. The reason I would like to see close-up pics of the bases of the pbulbs is because I don't think these new growths will flower. But the new growth buds down at the base of these will probably flower next summer. Around August or Sept if they start growing in the next month or so. These new pbulbs are the stores of energy the next growth will need to produce flowers. There may be hidden flowers down in the leaves on these new pbulbs but they should already be apparent unless these are producing small flowers. The media and pot size look very good here. I would place a layer of gravel on the bottom of the clay pot so that the black plastic pot has enough air space on it's bottom. A few more pics please.

Attached is a picture of the base of the two new leaves. I hope this is what you were asking for. Thanks!
