Laelia cinnabarina flower sheath

[MCSchrum]

I have a mature sized Laelia cinnabarina that just finished a new growth. The flower sheath and the sheath around the pseudobulb dried out at the same time. My question is, will this plant bloom from a dried flower sheath? What time of year should I expect blooms from this orchid?

I have read that some of the rupicolous Laelias require a cool dry winter rest in order to bloom. But how extreme of a rest do they need? I would assume that I shouldn't let it dry as much as my Dendrobium kingianum.

I've got it in an east facing window with T5 lights. It's about 3-4 inches away from the T5s. Is this enough light to bloom rupicolous Laelias?
