You might check the leaf color. If the new leaf is darker than the old ones, you probably aren't giving it enough light. Is the Pseudobulb at least as big as the one that bloomed? If not, you might want to look at other cultural variables. Also, a sheathless pseudobulb will occasionally produce a bloom.
I hope this helps.

The new bulb is larger than all the rest, by a good 20-33% I'd say; and if anything the color is lighter than the older ones! So I'm stumped. Guess I'll just wait and see.

I haven't seen it written anywhere, but I do kind of wonder if some plants, some years, just take a break from flowering. I suppose there'd be no way to truly test this; but the opposite corollary is that given ideal conditions, every plant will bloom every year. Any botanists among us? (I admit, I'd like to think that I am right, because it excuses my less than stellar results with some plants!)
