Dends, catts, any and all other types I have two paphs that are
beginning to look promising and a small catt that has a sheath. All of them
are just sitting there though. Most of my orchids are small, can't wait for
them to get big though

Hi, Shell,

An example to add to Al's reply: I have a Den. Palola Sunshine x Ahulani
Hinojosa that is in bloom now. It's a very prolific bloomer, and took a
trophy for Best Dend last year. When it won, and now, it blooms on leafed
and bare canes. This latest bloom cycle was 15 spikes, at least 2/3 of
them
on bare canes. Den. discolor also blooms on bare canes. I believe that
'calista' dends are different, but no one will answer my questions about
them! ;-D

I guess I made the assumption that you were talking about Dends.

I don't know of any orchid that, having lost it's leaves on a bulb, will
regrow new leaves.

Some dendrobiums will rebloom for years on old bulbs, even after the
leaves
have dropped. There are many that bloom on old bulbs and there are
many,
many more that won't. It is more of species trait than one that is
common
across a whole genera, I think. Most orchids with bulbs don't rebloom.
For
instance I can't think of a single Cattleya that does.

Bulbs is just short hand for pseudobulbs; it is not correct otherwise to
call them that. Forgive me. Sometimes people call dendrobium 'bulbs'
'canes' as a type of short hand also and they should be forgiven too...

Do orchids bloom from old previously bloomed pseudobulbs? And will
pseudobulbs that have lost thier leaves re-grow the leaves?
