Thanl you!

The leaves are very leathery and are a nice pale green. I placed it on my
balcony where it can get lots of shadowed light! I`ll see!
There is an old cane where I can see an old flower spike, yhen another cane
with a kind of capsule with 2 buds ( don`t remember the name of it ) and a
third cane which seems to grow another capsule!

Does almost all Cattleya are flagrant?

The 'capsule' with the buds is a sheath. If you can see the bud
shadows the development is well along. I hope the division has
some roots to support this so your buds will not blast. Good
luck and please try to post a photo of the blooms. Sounds like
you have a good place to summer the Catt. If you summer it
outside, It should bloom regularly for you even if it gets less
than optimum light under the grow lights in the winter.
