Thank you both Rbarata and Maryanne for words of encouragement and awareness. This plant is a first time bloomer. That is for sure. It is not so small and young per my understanding. Blooming would be something it should be capable of doing. Conditions on the way to blooming may not be ideal, because I am a beginner and may miss something. I hope everything plays out in favor of blooming this time. It is sunny, temperatures are nice and appropriate for maximas, watering is established. Fingers crossed. I will definitely post here if this sheath is a bloom bearing one.
