Well, at least it is growing and not dying...
Species have a tendency to sulk, maybe that is what your tigrinum is doing.
On the other hand, maybe this will be the spring it stops sulking.
If the new growths isn't more than a year old, the reason they haven't
flowered might be that the species bloom on the one-year-old growths. Some
species do that. It is generally "bred out" in hybrids as it is a negative
trait for the grower.
If the plant grows slowly the new growths maybe haven't had a chance to
develop yet.

Your temperature conditions sounds good, but I agree that it is a hassle to
do something everyday (timers for the lights is a wonderful invention... )

Tropical orchids in Sweden is cool! We have a quite active society here, but
I am so jealous of all the places you can order from as an American. We do
have an orchids-only shop in Stockholm, though. The only specialised one in
Europe they say... But no growers and few importers.

Via, thank you for your response. I actually have three (and want more).
One is a "bulldog complex hybrid", so I don't expect it will be too fussy
but I haven't had it long enough to know. My main concern is a Paph
markianum (aka tigrinum) that I bought about a year and a half ago. It
didn't bloom last spring. If it doesn't bloom this spring, I'll know I
have
to do something more drastic because it is otherwise quite healthy, with
multiple growths. I've learned that I can get the temps down to around 50
if I open my bedroom windows at the top and bottom, and then pull the
shade
down between the plants and the room. Thing is, it's a hassle to do that
every night and I'd rather not unless strictly necessary. Probably too
late
to worry about it this year anyway. I think the critical time is late
fall
early winter. I also have a henryanum and have wondered how critical the
cooling is for it. Thanks again for your input.

John

P.S. Tropical orchids in Sweden - Cool !!
