It's Vanda M Pearman (bellatum x delenatii), and I read bellatum tends to be a slow spike.

I have one and it has not yet bloomed, so this is very interesting.
I have delenatii in bloom. It took a little over one month from spike to open flower.
I also have bellatulum in low bud. It spiked back in January. So, yeah, it is frustratingly slow. I though it was dead.
Vanda M Pearman being a mix of these two, I guess it can be anywhere in the two extremes.
Usually delenatii hybrids are easy, but then again it can depend on what it is mated with, like Delrosi that can be pain in the butt to even induce to spike.
