Default Miltassia Royal Robe - flower spikes not growing?

In my experience, they should have just kept on growing.

I'd be concerned that the change in conditions may have stalled the
blooming, but don't give up all hope.

Back in September, when I was bringing in my Miltassia Royal Robe "Jerrys
Pick" I noticed that I had 3 spikes starting from the new growth. They
were
tucked between the layers of leaves covering the pseudobulb. I tucked it
in
among some other plants under fluorescent lights near a south window and
forgot about the spikes until today when I was moving the plants around
and
saw that the Miltassia was putting out new growths. That's when I
remembered the spikes, and looking between the leaves, found the spikes
almost as I remember them in September. Does this hybrid take a long time
to spike? Waiting for spring? Thanks
