Cattleya Spike or Bulb?
 

I always thought that it was bulb because the plant looks to small to bloom. Over the last few weeks, I started to question if it was really a bulb. It has nodes on it (if you can see them in the blurry picture).

The plant is called Blc. Adeline Ghiz 'Worcester's Pride'.

Here's the question: Bulb or Spike?

Thanks!

I'm not exactly sure what you're refering to but in both
pictures I see new growth - leaf/bulb.

That is a new lead developing on your Cattleya. The tip of the new leaf is sticking out at the top. As it elongates and expands the pseudobulb will swell, with new roots emerging at the base at some point in time.

I hope this clears things up:

So does this 'lead' turn into a new plant, like a keiki type thing? Or is it another bulb? Thanks!

It's this years new bulb (actually pseudobulb) and will result (hopefully) in a new spike (after it matures) coming from center of this growth.

I just put this plant under 3 fluorescent lights, that should be enought light.

Thanks for all the help!

It is a new growth. A pesudobulb and leaf will develop. Spikes are located inside a sheath in between the leaves

You may want to increase light levels a little more because the leaves look dark. And based on the picture I see that you are growing it with phals. These can take much more than a phal (I do realize your phal is getting high light since it is tinged with red).
I would put the light closer to the plant to increase foot candles and have it in the centre of the fixture. How far away from the fixture is it? I have plants that nearly touch the tubes

That's what I thought. This is my only Catt at the moment, thats why I did not know. Thanks!

I just moved my high-light plants under a 3 fluoescent tube fixture last night. That are about 3-4 inches away from the tubes.

My senses tell me that should be good enough light :) You will see the change...if the leaves go red

Is it too much light?

No I think a little redness will indicate you are giving enough light for catts. Of course you can reduce lighting if you see too much redness.
Young growths will often start out red and then they become green.

May be very soon you will see how the spike looks. Good luck!

Thanks!

Thanks! I hope so. :D
