Cattelaya

Hi,
Are these new roots growing or is it a flower spike?? I have had this cattelaya for 3 weeks now.

Not sure if that's a cattleya...I don't think so.

The very lowest green thing is likely a new vegetative growth - unless this is C. nobilior or C. walkeriana. In those two cases it is possible to be a flower spike.

Other Cattleyas bloom from the top of the pseudobulb, from inside the base of the leaf.

I think it's a hybrid. Here is Id tag.

Registered as Lc. (Laeliocattleya) Featherrae 'Misty Blue', it would be considered C. (Cattleya) Featherrae 'Misty Blue' now. The short stout rounded pseudobulbs appear to be the norm for this cultivar. You have both a new pseudobulb starting and new roots in that picture. As mentioned, a flower spike will come from the top of a mature or maturing pseudobulb.

Do a forum search for Featherrae and you and you should find pictures of a nice example in bloom from a few years ago.
