Dare I hope my chilochista lunifera has inflorescences?
 

I bought a few plants last year, late winter, early spring. I wasn't really thinking too clearly when I did and since my purchase I have lost 2 of the 5 plants purchased. One of the plants that has not died is a chilochista lunifera and I think it is putting out inflorescences.

Input anyone?

It sure looks like it to me ! WOW 3 of them, maybe more?woohoo... be sure and post pics several times along the way so we can watch them develop too....Jean

Looks like success to me. :goodjob

Pretty, supple, green roots!

Never heard of this one, is it a leafless orchid?

Don't have one of these in my collection. But it sure looks like it's in spike. Good growing

Chiloschista sometimes has a few small leaves that don't last long - leafless most of the time. In the same subtribe as Vanda and Phalaenopsis, etc.

Thanks!
 

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I'll try to update with more photos. I hope it blooms and doesn't bud blast or something.

Yes, this is a leafless orchid. It's really cool looking and quite small. The blossoms are fragrant. It had about 2 older blossoms when I got it. This will (hopefully) be the first time it has bloomed for me.:biggrin:

New one on me. Not surprising. I can't wait to see blooms.

As per request
 

Here's an update photo, so far so good.

Wow, way to go :cheer:

Lookin' good!!

Some of the buds have opened!
 

:blushing: The flowers are really tiny and hard to capture.

They look cute!

Cutie, way to go.

Super-cute😍
And have to say- that leafless orchid looks awesome😃

A little farther along
 

Rooty (pronounced, Rudy), now has 5 blossoms open and looks like he might get one more. One seems to have shriveled up. His blossoms are about 5 mm across and super cute. I'm thrilled.:biggrin:

Now I want one...shopping again, woohoo....Jean

Great job with this orchid!

Rooty is beautiful, I love those deep hues in orchid flowers! Great growing!

Tis a lovely little bloom.

I love chilochistas and well leafless orchids... had an opportunity to buy one at a show recently and now seeing your post i totally regret it!

I love the dark colors with the light outlining...
