Veska, it does have the appearance that there is no sheath there, but peal the leaf sheath (the papery covering that the leaf emerges from, has the drop of water on it in your photo) back and and look in side, I bet there is a small short sheath that the bud is emerging from.
In the first photo the leaf sheath has turned tan (or dryed), but looks like yours. The old flower spike is coming out with no sheath. In the second photo, the dry steath has been pull back revealing the small short sheath.
Hope this helps answer your questions. And your plant seems very happy.

Lc Busy Bev also has Mini Purple in its background. Powerful habit!

Thank you everyone for the input and. I wont cut anything just to see what's inside  , most likely there is some sort of a very small bud sheath as was suggested by Selmo and Roberta. I m glad to have even one flower  . |

An update. About 2 weeks from emerging of a bud to a full bloom.
Not a big flower though.

That deep purple is so nice!
It can be seen that this orchid really glistens too ...... even though the camera isn't capturing the full glistening effect. It will be a spectacular effect to see in person.

Very nice, weather it comes from sheath or doesn’t it is a wonderful flower. I do love the purple cattleyas, you just can’t go wrong with one.

Just one more photo, it has opened fully I think.
No sun this morning, but it is quite a shiny flower.
