If it needs another year to settle before it spikes, that wouldn't surprise me!

Ah, I see what you are asking... Spiranthoids will set a spike in the middle of a whorl, regardless if the leaves are present or have gone dormant. So if your plant were to bloom next year, the spike will essentially be emerging from the whorl that you are seeing now, just at a later time when the leaves have gone dormant...
