Cycnoches barthiorum: still green?

[boytjie]

I recently received a Cycnoches barthiorum in the mail, an eBay purchase after I decided to try my hand at a new alliance I've never grown before. From what I understand, Catasetums should be in dormancy at the moment, leafless and requiring hardly any water until spring. However, mine arrived in full, healthy leaf. Not sure what do to now: should I let it keep growing, or should I cut off the leaves and force it into dormancy? Is it possibly too late in the season for forced dormancy?

Thanks for the help from you Cycnoches experts!
