My orchid refused to bloom for three whole years and I almost gave up
I got this beautiful phalaenopsis as a gift in 2020 and it just sat there, growing leaves but no flower spike. I tried moving it to different windows, changing my watering schedule, and even used a special fertilizer my friend in Tampa recommended. The whole process took me until last month, when I finally saw a tiny bud after I started giving it a bigger temperature drop at night. Has anyone else had a plant that just tested your patience forever?

Exactly, like wesley181 said, they really do test you. I had a cattleya that just would not cooperate for almost five years. It felt like a personal insult every time it put out another leaf instead of a flower. That nighttime temperature trick was what finally worked for mine, too. It's amazing how such a small change can be the key after so much waiting.
