All of the new growths have sheaths, but only some of them will bloom, and as far as I can tell, there's no way to predict who will bloom and who will not.
Just be patient. That's a healthy plant. It will bloom when it's ready.

I'm glad to hear that it is a favorite, I'm expecting it to be one of mine. Chadwick on eBay, where I got this plant (they have more), called it a summer bloomer, but I'd rather it was an any season bloomer. Here in South-central Mississippi, we have long hot summers, but spring and fall are ideal for most Cattleyas. It is only cold for two months in winter, which means we have a very long warm growing season. I'm hoping it will bloom before December.
Thanks for posting!

It would be kinda cool if they got out of synch and bloomed at different time during the year.
That may be asking a bit much for this particular Cattleya.
