Remember most Catt species are seasonal bloomers. If you are expecting a C. maxima to bloom in May, its probably not going to happen because they grow in spring and summer and flower in late fall. You should find out when your species are supposed to bloom, when they are supposed to grow and if they are the correct size. Immature plants will not bloom and many barely mature plants (lets say with one sheath) will not bloom until they are larger. If they are absolutely of the correct size (mature) and they do not bloom in their "normal" season, then something is wrong with the cultural conditions or they are shocked because of something (think new plant in the house).
Oh, and bikerdoc, dry sheaths are often still ok. If its a complex hybrid, then what I just said above is off. Complex hybrids often bloom whenever they feel like it and you are on your own with them! I just stop watering them if they dont bloom to shock em. Works!
