Coelogynes with no flowers...

It grows a lot of new bulbs every year, but not a single flower in sight. I have read that it takes a long time for the plant from spike to flower, but I haven't seen any photos of such a spike.
The other plant is a Burfordensis which I bought last year. It's also a fantastic grower, and has grown 2 new bulbs this summer. It has the same growing conditions as the lawrenceana. But I can't see any spike....
I am afraid they get to easily dry because they are potted in sphagnum. What do you think?
Do any of you have photos of these plants in spike?

I'm having the same problem as you with my coelogyne Milda.
