It's hard to say because, if it goes dormant, it could just hold on to the inflo until spring and bloom then, or it could fall off. If you keep it growing in your bedroom with natural sunlight and added artificial light, it could bloom for you inside, but indoor blooms tend to look a lot lighter in color and smaller too. Your best bet for winter blooms is a greenhouse. You can buy a pop up one for around $128 right now: http://www.comforthouse.com/flowerhouse1.html That is the one I have. I actually have 3 of them, and I put all my plumerias with inflo's starting in them for the winter if the trees aren't too big. You could put a heater in there on nights when temps are predicted to fall to 32 and below. A fan is beneficial too to keep air-circulation good.

In warm weather, an inflo can progress very quickly, but lack of energy causes growth to slow. If your plant was put in a toasty warm greenhouse, I would say that it could be blooming in 4-6 weeks.
