Rose Pogonia Question

Located in Delaware. I have a Rose Pogonia which was given to me as a gift. It was dormant when I got it, but still has shown no signs of life. I've checked the pot and the roots are still bright brown and firm. The pot is sitting outside in about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water, sharing a tray with some sars. From all that I've read, it should be putting up at least a few leaves and flowers by now. Does anyone here have bog orchid experience? This plant will be gorgeous if it makes it, and I'm hoping to divide it into a few container bogs next year. Is there anything I can do besides wait?
 
Check out this site for a little more info on your Pogonia.  Rose Pogonia  I don't have any experience with them myself, but I do have to look for them now.  I have some Bletilla orchids that have been sprouting for a little while, and still no flowers yet. I have already seen posts from Tenn where his have flowered already, and at the time he posted, mine were not even coming up yet.  I am further south.  I'm in GA.  I would give them some more time.  How long have you had them?  I wouldn't devide untill you have given them a chance to acclimate to your conditions for a year or two.  It could set them back more.  I would worry they were dead if nothing came up and its getting fall again.  You still have all summer to see flowers.
