Default Holding my breath for a potential Schomburgkia bloom

I've been holding my breath in anticipation for over a month now. My Schomburgkia thomsoniana's latest growth looks very promising. The pseudobulb is big and fat (twice as big as the other ones), and it's sheath has remained plump and healthy looking. I am so hoping for a bloom out of this one. Does anyone know how long it generally takes a Schom. to go from sheath to spike?

This plant also has one newly developing pseudo and is in the process of initiating 3 other growths. Any thoughts as to whether the new growths will cancel out the potential for flower production this time around?

No thoughts whatsoever, except to say that those roots look sooooooooo happy. Great mount job.

Thank you. This is one of the best growers I've ever seen. It's hard to find in depth details on the growth and blooming habits of Schomburgkias though.
