Yes they do, especially the short thick-leaved species that Cj and I referred to in earlier posts.

It's not a Cattleya because it has a small round pseudobulb (pb) off of which come several long narrow stiff leaves. Your Cattleya will have a distinctly longer pbs with only 1-3 or so apical leaves. Brassavola (like brassavola nodosa) has pencil-like leaf structures and no "traditional" pseudobulb. the leaves are fat and roundish and function as both leaf and pb. They grow one-to-a-new growth unlike this plant which has several thick but flat leaves per bulb.
