Repotting Party! (Catt)

Good Evening.

In June 2008 I made a cut in my Catt, five pseudobulbs on each side, planning to repot it when I had the time.

I finally picked up a heavy terra cotta pot capable of dealing...

Will catts re-spike on old pseudobulbs?

I have a couple hybrid catts that have developed spikes on their new pseudobulbs, for which I am very thankful.

Will the old pseudobulbs ever re-spike?

My Catt. 'paradise' (Blc. Hawaiian Passion x. Blc. Sakurahime) has started to look like an overripe banana (see attached). Here's a link to a time when it was healthy and in bloom:

It emerges from just above soil level, it curves upward, and there aren't any trailing growths underneath it--nothing hairy or fibrous coming out underneath. Nothing about it seems very...

Catt. and Phrag New Growth Questions

I've only been at this a few months, so I don't fully understand a full year's growth cycle on my plants. I have a couple questions about the new growth I'm seeing.

Cattleya NOID

The old "foliage only" thread wasn't generating a whole lot of responses, so here's what came out when my recent acquisition bloomed. Any guesses on an ID?

Blooms!

The buds cracked on Sunday 3/30, and the white and purple blooms became visible this morning, 3/31.

Any thoughts on an ID?

Update

The sheath popped, and hopefully in a few weeks (anybody want to venture a guess on time-until-open?), I'll have a few blooms to help further ID this find.

the next step--do the fallen blooms dry well?

Thanks guys, what an odd and frustrating flowering habit.

Has anyone ever tried to dry these perfectly good, albeit fallen, blooms?
