Well, this thread answers my question. I purchased a Cat. that I really liked at the POE, in San Francisco. It was bare root, but had a spike on it. The spike did flower and was beautiful, but lasted only a few days, probably not even 4. From the dead roots and shrunken psudobubs I thought it was gone, and as the flower lasted for such a short time I really didn't care, but I don't give up on a plant. After some TLC, a new sprout appeared and new roots started to grow. Now, if what I read elsewhere is true, perhaps the flowers will last longer next time it blooms!
