Orchid question
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... "Shell" wrote in message m...

Orchid question
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. Diana "Al" wrote in message ...

Orchid question
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 Shell "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message link.net... Hi, Shell, An example to add to Al's reply: I have a Den.

Orchid question
Catts bloom on new growths. If a Catt loses a leaf on a back bulb (common),
just keep the bulb with the plant unless it either shrivels completely or, ominously, becomes soft and squishy, which is an indication of rot. If that happens, repot immediately, removing the bad bulb and dusting the wound. I use a douse of peroxide for the whole plant, followed by cinnamon on the cut area for this. I know what it's like to wait for those babies to bloom. I bought a lot of them when I was new to orchids, and many have yet to bloom. Now, I buy only fairly mature plants, unless it's something that I simply *must* have! Diana "Shell" wrote in message m...
