I thought the exact same thing, Larry. But that's a lot of fans for a new plant. I see three other scapes (spent) and maybe a 4th if that thing in the upper right corner is a bud.
I agree with Tabbycat, too.
It could be just about anything, and Larry's guess is still a good one as far as I'm concerned. I bought a plant from the same hybridizer and it took four years to put up its first scape, and that scape was short like yours. It was a relatively small single fan when I bought it, and I moved it once in the middle, so it just took that long to mature. (I'm not knocking the hybridizer. I bought several other plants and received gift plants that have all done extremely well for me.) For some reason, this one just took a long time.
So other things that could be part of the issue, soil condition. Maybe it's not getting enough nutrients or water when it is building scapes. And I notice it's a dormant plant. I don't know where you are from, youda, but I've heard some people who live in the hotter states say that dormants just don't do well for them. So those are two other things it could be. But I vote for Larry and think if you give it one or two more years, you will see improvement.
edited because I missed Tabbycat's response and didn't want to look like a jerk for ignoring what Trudy said.
