Gita, your AVs look pretty healthy.

Not sure how old the AVs are, but they still look too small to bloom. Judging from their sizes, I would say that the single ones in pics #2, #3, and #4 should bloom around April/May. Make sure their potting soil is fresh and they get good light. Feed them "weekly but weakly".

I did a bad job providing light to mine this winter. The plant shelves with lighting were demolished when the apartment management came to steam clean the carpet, and were never reassembled. My AVs and streps didn't bloom much, but are starting to set buds now.

The pic below is the 'Frosty Cherry' that's currently blooming. Although the mobile phone photo is out of focus, hope you can still tell that it is a very pretty plant. I am baby-sitting this AV for Jill. Will take a leaf for propagation before giving the plant back to Jill :o).
