Hi all: I have been growing a beautiful psychopsis for over a year now. It
came with two spikes that have bloomed continuously and then sent up
another, which has also been blooming. Then the cat discovered it.
Normally, my cats don't bother the orchids, although they have knocked a few
off the table. The sight of a butterfly floating in the air was too much
for the kitten. He broke the reed near the top. Here's the
question...there is a node near the break that appears to be forming a new
bud. Could this be true? Or, am I just seeing what I want to see?

Psychopsis can and sometimes do branch on their own. The chance
that this branch is developing sounds very good. Poor kitty just
could not take the temptation. You had best find another home
for the Psychopsis or a way to shield any new blooms from the
kitten.
