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?

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.

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