UPDATE !
It's finally 'done something' 2 pseudobulbs have 'filled out' and yesterday whilst watering I noticed new growths on these 'full' bulbs. At the moment they look slightly different, but I suppose too early to say if it's spike or new pseudobulb or both?
Here are a couple pictures of the 'growths'..I'm very excited as everyone says are very slow to develop after splitting/repottting! I got this in January, & my mum potted this devision in August last year.
I hope someone can tell me what they are?
Since I have had it up to now an old p/bulb dried up & I pulled/twisted it off.

Hi all, a quick update since I posted this..My plant has grown 4 new shoots (another 2 since I last posted) - My mothers she tells me are both flowering at the moment (the original 'mother' plant as well as the 'twin' to mine) So hers doesn't seem to have suffered much from being repotted...I will be seeeing them in a couple of days so I will definitely try very hard to get some really good/clearer photos of flowers & all. I hope I will get to see flowers next year.
My 2 newest shoots are a much lighter -a more yellow green colour at the moment.. I wonder if it is because they got too much light? If anyone knows I would be very grateful for any more info.

update with better photos of flowers
Hi & Happy New Year to all,
I came back a couple days ago and managed to take a couple better photos of the plant & flowers (my mums specimens) Would really appreciate it if anyone can tell me what it is as am totally confused with the name changes etc....
Also, unfortunately having been away for 6 weeks.. my plant now looks like this...
the 2 'older' shoots are brown and dried up... so I'll be cutting them off - and the 2 newest shoots, one taller than the other - taller one ok.. shorter one leaf points brown... any ideas? Too much water? too little? not enough air humidity?
Any ideas on what to do as well as what it is?
thanks
Nenella

Coelogyne pulverula --- Am still struggling.
Hi all! I'm updating this thread..... as still no signs of spikes. But, this plant is still alive and looking better than it a couple years ago when My Orchid Carer watered it too much and it had started rotting. I then made holes (grooves) in the pot ; since then I tended to keep it alot drier than I did at first and seems to be re-thriving. Here is a pic from just now.. It looks same'ish as when I got it at xmas in 2009 ..
Anyone out there who grows these and who can give me some advice on how to help to get it to flower would be very much appreciated.Thanks for looking!

A bit more light as it looks very green and shaded. Water often but only after the substrate is dry...It should flower when your Mom's does!

This is the necklace orchid endemic to south east Asia ….all through Java, Malaysia and the Celebes.
I think your mother is right but this orchid have changed names 11 times since 1853….it was also called dayana and in 1903 this was called densiflora then in 1908 it was back again to tomentosa….
Here is the culture according to IOSPE

Bud, thanks for that! The plant is still "alive" still too green looks more than ok apart the too green leaves... I have changed homes this year and have to say she looks 'better'. I'm forwarding this to my mothe who will hopefully chip in....
PS: I don't think our plants flowers have that stripe?
