Coelogyne speciosa - Orchid Board

A faithful bloomer for the third year in a row. Honestly, this is one of the easiest orchids I grow. Its put forth 4 new growths this year. Looks like 2 for leaves, and 2 for blooms.

Great plant, Dave. A very pretty flower and I'm really impressed with the beautiful leaves. My coelogyne leaves seem to be all marked up by the time the blooms come. Nice growing.

I have a coelogyne speciosa, too , a salmonicolor and a flaccisa but the the Coelogyne salmonicolor is the my preferite!I'd like to see the blooms on my plants but i have to wait along time, i think.

Very cool! I just got into Coelogynes, so Im wondering if you can give a quick synopsis of your growing conditions (temps, light, watering schedule, potting media, etc.). Thanks!!

I've been considering these on EBay, they are certainly very nice.

Dave,

It sure is beautiful...I just love the form of these blooms!

Thanks for sharing this guy with us.

I actually just bought my first Coelogyne. It's a different species than yours, but I'm even more excited about it now, having seen yours.

Well...my coelogynes Grow in intermiedate temperatures (27-19 Celsius degrees) and I water speciosa, flaccida and salmonicolor when the soil is dry.During summer filtered light and in winter the same.Rarely I fertilizethem
and they grow great!Pear attention to not soak the soil!
P.S:I'm not really good in english
