Like many standard-sized Catts, Laelias can take 7 or 8 years to go from flask to bloom. Assuming your plant has never been divided, subtract the number of PBs it has from eight, and that's just about how many years you have left to go until it flowers. It may flower sooner for you, but just don't expect it.
From what I have, it should be another 2 years to bloom. Maybe (hopefully) sooner.
