Question on timing of new growth

[mook1178]

I was at an orchid nursery a few days ago. I saw a few Catasetinae plants and bought an Ctsm osculatum x pileatum. I did see a few of the others that had not shown sign of new growth this season. All of the plants were very dehydrated. I also bought a Den Lemon Dance. Both plants needed a bit of love. The place was going out of business and I am guessing they're not doing much of anything other than trying to sell off.

My question is would the Ctsm bulbs that had not sprouted new growth still have a chance if watered to plump up the bulbs? Would it have been worth to offer $5 for one of these plants? Most had 3-4 bulbs, but were very dehydrated.
