No signs of flowers on new growths...

[Ray]

Taking another look at those photos tells me that those new growths are no where near mature. I'll bet they continue growing for several more months, and may yet bloom.

If I'm recalling correctly, on the larger catts, the growths start out fast, then growth continues, but at a slower pace, and sheaths may not appear for a while. Everything is accelerated in the compact hybrids.
