| Jo you have to wait a while for flowers. Nobiles only flower once a year in the spring after they have had a month of cool weather under 50 degrees at night. The lower temperatures are necessary for flowering.
Very important do not fertilize this plant. Fertilizer will prevent the plant from flowering. Do not reduce the water too much. It is not as critical as the books make you think The canes should not be allowed to shrivel too much (some is unavoidable).
Your orchid looks a lot like a Yamamoto Nobile called Oriental Smiles.
Your flower buds will come out of the cane directly opposite the leaves (or more often across from where a leaf fell off. Nobiles produce most flowers on bare canes.
