For Info : this cattleya did finally put out a new growth ( unfortunatley grew facing the opposite direction ! I've learn't the lesson ! won't happen again!
- I hadn't read Cynthia's 'tips' on this ...)
It is now going to flower in the next week or so with 2 blooms ! (I can see it 'originally' had 3 !) & I'm very happy as last year had 2 buds originally and one developped and flowered, this year... I'ts put out a new growth on which It had 3 & two have developped !!!!! And YES this new growth is bigger & thicker than the previous! I Had to share this developpment ! & can't wait for the wonderful scent !
