catt bowringiana rest?
All mine are in bloom right now. And its hybrids. I am in N California, USA.
I make no claim for whether this is typical behaviour for the species. I didn't know it needed a rest either. But many people will decrease water in the cooler winter months anyway, so that could be considered a 'rest'. Do not cut off the old pseudobulb. It makes and stores food for the emerging new growth. Dr Wang did a study and even leafless old bulbs still transfer food to the new growth. When making divisions keep 3-4 back bulbs to support the emerging new growth, too. The old p/bulb will not bloom again.
