Just something to keep in mind....
It is possible that they might be able to get that orchid to bloom in a year's time. I believe that they have two growing areas, one in the cooler mountains and the other in the lowlands. Both are probably ideal for the orchids that are grown in each place.
Depending on our care and conditions, orchids will grow at different rates. Over the years, I have gotten orchids with drastic size differences between the new psuedobulb and the previous one. I have also raised many young orchids to maturity and have never gotten that size difference. That tells me that my growing conditions (and likely, skill level) are not as ideal as wherever that orchid has previously grown. Not easy to accept for my ego but there it is.
