Just took these photos today. I bought the plant 4 years ago, and this is the 3rd blooming. Usually the bloom emerges in late October or in November. The bud gets to be almost the size of a golf ball, and has these wonderful hairy spikes all over it, almost like a chestnut.
I think the spike began about 6 to 8 weeks ago, maybe late May at the earliest. So 5 months is about right. The blooms have usually lasted about 18 days for me.
I water it heavily at least once a day, and the pot sits in 1 or 2 cm of water.
