It's not a silly question if you have to ask
The cattleya family is not really my thing - far more interested in
dendrobes. But I have a couple of cats given me as gifts. Question: Dens typically bloom several seasons from the same pseudobulb. Do cats do the same? Or is it just one flower sheath per bulb ever?

I believe all catts are one-time-bloomers.

Actually, some will rebloom on green spikes, as do phals. I see this in B.
nodosa and many of its hybrids, also some Broughtonia and Schomburgkia species and hybrids, including our Smbcna. Garnet Glory. But I have yet to see any of them actually make a whole new inflorescence from a previously-bloomed pb, like dens often will. -- Kenni Judd Juno Beach Orchids http://www.jborchids.com "Susan Erickson" wrote in message ...

Thank you all very much for your responses. I guess that's why you
never see a large "specimen plant" from the cat family as you do with dens. Division is presumably the way to go.

You sometimes see 'specimen plants' but generally they are of a type that sends out 2 -3 leads every year. You get 2-3 going and keep the center small enough they can be very spectacular.
