The paphs I received already have past flower spikes. Some of them still have the mother plant but some presumably, have rotted away. The pups on the other hand are twice as big as the old plant and have about 5-6 leaves on either side. When will they bloom?

Which Paph? Some of the multiflorals (such as P. rothschildianum) can take 3 years for a new growth to put down roots, and only after that happens will the growth bloom. So until the plant gets quite large, these can go several years between bloomngs.

Most species have definite bloom seasons. You can check them on the Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia site.

Most flower every year in season, once they have flowered once or twice, if the grower does a good job.

Plants that have been divided down to a small number of growths may take 1-3 years before they build themselves up big enough to flower again. Many Paph growers try not to divide them unless they fall apart when repotting.

Actually, I don't know what their id's are, except one, thats why I am eager to see their blooms so that I can properly ID them. The one I know is a p. Anitum and when shall it bloom?

The blooming season extends from May up to Dec. Statistically you can expect it by middle summer.

Just looked up Paph anitum (syn. Paph adductum) and it is in that multifloral group. These do have a reputation as reluctant bloomers. So just be very patient. It is normal for them to go several years between bloomings, 3-5 years is quite common, at least until they get very large (lots of growths as well as big ones) They are spectacular when they finally do.
