This one has not bloomed for a couple of years. After repotting it finally got happy again. The flower is large compared to the plant. This is one of two bulldogs I own. The other is in bloom as well. I haven't photographed it yet. I usually like to take them outside in natural light but it's only 19 degrees here this morning and barely warms up to 36 during the day. So you'll have to settle for an indoor shot.

Unless it is a multiple growth plant, I don't think bulldogs flower once a year.
I have a few bulldogs that have been over a year since they last bloomed. They just grow and grow.

I do have one with Henryanum in it and that one blooms twice a year.

This one will rebloom annually as long as remember to repot annually. It gets unhappy if I miss a repotting.

Mine blooms at least once a year, sometimes more. It had two spikes this year, the first has now faded but the second is still going.

However what you say about multiple growths is likely true. Paphs bloom when a growth matures, I find the growths take at least two years to mature sometimes more. Before mine flowered it had 6 non-mature fans, ranging in age from about 6 months to 2 years (also had 4 old fans). Two of those growths have now matured and flowered so I have four more and I expect a couple of those will bloom next year or later this year. I also expect further new growths to start within the next 6 months.
