Ellaine, I sure hope to see them bloom. On the baby bud, never aGain! I never ever cut off dead sheats but I was getting it ready for a nice clean look before I go back to work on Monday and in preparation for the opening of 2 more buds just above it. Oh well, I will have to wait for next year for this Catt to bloom, although it has a new green sheath in one of its pseudobulbs that might still produce a bloom.
