Cattleya labiata

C. labiata alba
This is a plant I bought out of bloom several months back, it did have a sheath but it was empty. Since I have had it in the growing area it has completed a new growth and looks to be putting buds in both. This plant looks to be doing better than some of my other labiata this year. This species is known for its typical double sheath, but this plant had other plans this year. Cattleya are quirky little plants with minds of their own. The grower I got this plant from told me the mother plant blooms of a pseudo-bulb with no sheath at all sometimes.
