a few more Coelogyne's

[blondie]

Evening, morning afternoon,

Here are a few more of my Coelogynes, I do find them a very easy orchid to grow and flower. I only have a few Coelogynes i struggle with just because i have them a little warmer than they like.

First up, is a my Coelogyne speciosa/salmonicolor, I actully bever wanted this plant. There had been a mix up and the wrong lables, but now that i have grown it i have to say i wouldnt change it is a damn good flowerer.

Next up is a nice dark form of speciosa, I love this species I dont know why just eveyr thing about floats my boat, another very good flowerer.

Next up Ive had this hybrid for a couple of year and is an extermely strong grower and bulks up fast, this year it gave me three spikes and has filled the pot full.

This was a punt when I saw it at a show as the cross is very different the cross is salmonicolor X corymbosa. It has not flowered this year for me but grown extremly well, it might be way to warm for the plant to be able to spike for me. But it is a lovely little flower.

You have a great Coelogyne collection! I just got one that is supposed to be speciosa salmon -- I hope it is.

I hope it is the right species for as its ment to be extremely rare, my one is in question. I had a quite a few people take swipes at me about mine, on other places but one well.

That is my understanding, also, blondie.

Well all I can say us I'm sure it will be lovely how ever it flowers, I have yet to come across a bad flower I the speciosa group, to be honest.

Blondie, I do believe you're addicted and it's well worthwhile. Beautiful flowers and I assume fragrant.

Gorgeous! I also love this section of coelogynes, but not easily found here..

Yes some are fragrant the speciosa and Rebecca Howe are but I woild bot say it's a lovely smell, but then I woild not say it was a horrible smell. They are a unique smell.

Really I use to get a few of the species in this group when I was in Singapore, but they where not the easiest.
