Calvin, I will most certainly post more photos as things progress. I think its fascinating to see these developing - they are so different!
I think my challenge will be keeping them wet enough through the growing season this summer. You say you hope yours recovers - but that's exactly what it looks like its doing - you've got so many new growths. I just have the one....

Hehe I hope so! Overall it just doesn't seem like a healthy plant - but I think I was trying to change too many things at once, so I'm just going to let it's one healthy growth develop for now and see how it goes
I can't wait to see your blooms - and I hear they are fragrant too! It's neat how different coelogyne species bloom in different ways...I have a cristata that's popping up a new growth now, but these flower completely differently from nitida! *sigh* I love coelogynes

My cristata is doing nothing!
But, I think I can count 6 buds showing through on the nitida!!!

I'm really excited to see them open up! I'll let you know about the fragrance... I love flowers that smell nice. I'm still disappointed every time I go to smell a beautiful bloom and it doesn't smell at all.

They have opened!!  I can detect a slight fragrance, but nothing really strong yet...
PS. Ross, I'm ready to try some photography lessons with you this evening to try to get better photos of this beauty!!

wow! shakkai, that's gorgeous!!! what does it smell like?
I ask because newly I was "confronted" to Coelogyne cristata var. hololeuca and that one stunk very strong like cat pee! I was surprised because my 2 Coelogyne cristata are not scented at all...

Ramón,
They smell like Rosewater to me.... And I just walked into the room a little while ago, and I could smell them immediately. Very nice!!!

Beautiful patterning and blooms!! Congrats!  I saw one at the show today so I could examine how the blooms form in detail. Wonderful fragrance too - good growing!
