I got it in April -around mid April- and it bloomed yesterday, so not too long. I've got another wardii from a british grower. I think that it's in low sheaf right now but it is only a near blooming sized one so don't know if it is actually a sheaf yet -fingers crossed. I only have albas in my collection and the next one I will see bloom is a beauty from Schwerter -again. I can't wait for that! I also have a maudiae alba from them which suffered from the same thing that your roth did, no root tips. I have had it for a year and it has not grown. But...I am sure that the flower sheaf -that has not grown at all since I spotted it whilst looking down the crown- is now finally making a move all be it a very slow one. So good culture can make a difference. Just be patient.
