Coelogyne South Carolina
After looking at Richards backbulb website, I had another senior moment -- I have a backbulb of Coelogyne South Carolina !! (somewhere)
My Coel. South Carolina (Coel. Burfordiense (asperata x pandurata (1911)) x Coel. pandurata, C. & H. 9/5/1996) backbulbs were from Rob in 08/08. Two backbulbs he set in lava rock in a 4" round plastic pot. In 11/08 the smallest new growth appeared. The second, larger growth started this spring and is stretching the limits of the pot. And now I see another growth (above finger in 2nd photo). There are also numerous roots coming through the slots in bottom of pot. I have not been able to flower this plant.
I need help with this guy -- questions:
Is plant still too small to flower ?
Where does this plant flower from ??
Is the latest growth a potential flower source ??
My big problem is wether to repot or not at this time ??? The plant needs a larger pot, especially if that new growth needs to expand to the size of the large pseudobulbs.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Charlie
