Default Time for Cattleya to bloom?

Yikes, 2 to 3 years! I hope they're the medium sized ones then.
Let's see; here some of the names from the stakes:

Blc. Toshie Aoki 'Carmela' - most I bought were similar to this, just
with different colored flowers (I don't have the stakes for those).

Slc. Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.' - this one I think is smaller, since I did
see a blooming one, and it was about 10" high.

Thanks for your help!

Some small Catt hybrids are blooming size at that height. If yours are
destined to be medium size, they may bloom on the next growth. If they
are destined to be full size Catts, they may need to make 2 or 3 more
growths before they get to flowering size and that could take 2 or 3 years.
If you want to tell us the names of yours, I or someone else here might
be able to tell you what to expect for final size.
