It will depend alot of weather conditions because I had mine in the cool garage or outdoors on nice days in the winter, and they really have taken forever (a few mos) on some of them to open...whereas in the spring or early fall the buds seem to grow much faster and flower sooner. Maybe if you can give it more warmth and greenhouse conditions you could get flowers sooner. Just don't let the plant dry out or be in windy areas or the buds will fall off or dry up..Also make sure it gets enough light.
