Earlier this year I bought this plant as a division of a very well established plant from a private, German collector. I wondered about the size of the pseudobulbs, when it arrived, as they are twice as tall as my other (admittedly younger, but still blooming size) plants of this species?
As I'm something of a novice, when it comes to Catt.s, I would be very happy with some input from all you well versed Catt-women and -men:
Do you think the plant is the genuine article, maybe polyploid - or are we rather threading the duplicitous paths of the land of hybridization?

The longest of the previous flowering pseudobulbs measure respectively 25 and 28 cm; the two presently flowering 17 and 14 cm.
NS: 3,2-3,5 cm. Height: 4 cm.
