David, your weather is like that in south Taiwan and seems still too hot for them. But some of my friends that live in south Taiwan have successfully get the species bloom. In hot climite, this species tends to produce a lot of new growths and then ....forgets to flower.
And hence, keep the plant dry gradually from late autumn till early spring to force them to rest.
Another way to make them flower is repotting in early spring, which will stimulate the plants to flower.
