At least it's a coelogyne...

To me, it looks like you now have a lawrenceana living with you. Not only is it fragrant but it double blooms from the same spike.

Don't give up on your cristata. I received 5/6 leafless pbulbs which I put in a pot with sphag as the media. I watered when the sphag got bone dry. One day it popped a new growth and is now a very large health plant.

Both of these Coelogynes I grow in Catt light and keep wet year round. My lawrenceana will blast spikes if I don't water it every other day while in spike. Even during the long dark winter it must have water to keep the buds from drying up.

Brooke, your plant is AMAZING!!! I want mine to look like that. When I compare the size of my flower to that first picture of your whole plant...wow,that is massive! And stunning.

Yes, it does have double blooms per spike and it has lots of new, young spikes that have begun to emerge just the last few days/couple of weeks.

Thank you for sharing the pictures! And giving me hope regarding that crisp cristata. (It's still green so I'm not giving up on it yet)
