A closer look, not in optimal light conditions.
I will take the plant next month outside and split it!

I managed to bloom my Chiloschista lunifera - except this is the puniest spike I ever saw!
Perhaps I should be happy that I didn't kill it.

This is a leafless plant. In my hands I never noticed any small temporary leaf growth.

Love the bulbo but must know where Irene Finney falls on the fluffy scale.

Amazing show, Ursula. Maybe you can cut a teeny piece of 'Debbie' off for me!!! Beautiful form! You have done a wonderful job growing that bulbo!! And it's always great to see Mingle's Sapphire! Of course I adore Chiloschista lunifera!` So happy I own one of my own.

Thanks.
Will do Kathy! Smiling
Jim - regarding the Floof scale, after long and careful consideration I would give it an 82 Big Grin
(81 to 100 - Floofy, Fluffy, Flouncy, and Frou-frou)

Smiling thanks.
Just to bring it back up, I did borrow the Floof scale from the Orchidsource Forum - (slightly tongue in cheek?)

Why not? As long as you give credit, there should be no harm in it. It is important to a catt grower such as myself.
