It's still warm where you live. Do bulbos grow all year if conditions are right?

Today's update is that a third new growth/spike thing has appeared under another pseudobulb. The first two have grown bigger, but I am still unsure what they are! I don't think I've ever experienced this type of uncertainty for so long!

This plant is kept pretty wet during the summer. It's in a plastic basket with bark and sphagnum moss, so it gets air circulation around the roots even when dripping with water. It is kept much dryer in winter - fungus is always a concern.

I have four Bulbo species, and all four grow in a similar fashion: new growth in spring, bloom in autumn. After blooming, they do nothing for a few months as water, humidity, and light duration and intensity is reduced. My plants start showing new growth in March/April.

I can't answer your question from experience but I can say that my friends with greenhouses start seeing things happen about two months before me. For example, I'll expect Bulbo medusae blooms in mid-November, but a greenhouse grower friend has already had her blooms come and go.

I can confirm that all three new growths are pseudobulbs, not spikes. Rats! And they got tons of light this summer. Oh well, maybe next year

That very first photo of your outstretched hand behind a leaf is just great. I hope you figure out how to bloom these.

The one person I know who grows it says it blooms in the spring/summer on mature pseudobulbs. I trust him enough to have gotten one myself, since it should flower when it's warm enough to be outside. I really wanted B.nymphopolitanum, but ut's bloom time would likely be while it was indoors. No thank you! So don't give up yet!
