You might get a flower at the end of this year but most likely it would come in November with little chance to develop the fruit but you would have a flower which is a major accomplishment. Its very difficult to predict the growth rate with new (initial) plants because they grow much slower without being able to leverage energy from the Mother plant as well as the power of an established corm and root system in place.

I recomend growing your first year plant as best you can with maximum resources to develop a strong and robust corm which can support a pup emerging in Spring 2021 for a flower in Summer 2022.

If you get a flower at the end of the this year or early Spring with one or two leaves consider it a surpise bonus.

Be patient. You'll get there!
