It is confusing, isn't it? Especially because of the shoulder blade being back there.
But Cathe is refering to the upper portion of the lat muscle and the lower portion. If you see the lats of a bodybuilder, for example, you can see that when they flare them, the two sides of the back are kind of fan-shaped, tapering at the bottom. The wide top part of the fan would be the "blade," while the lower, tapering part would be the "lower blade."
