Absolutely stunning. Pristine is definitely the word to use when describing this orchid.


I'd love to grow this one and cristata, but I think my growing conditions are too warm for their liking. They'd probably languish in the heat.

Could you posta picture of where the flower spike is coming from. I have one of these and has two new growths coming from it. Just wondering when and where i should expect the blooms. Thank you Gena!

I'll try to do it.
Coelogyne mooreana has synanthous or proteranthous inflorescence.
Proteranthous inflorescence develops on the top of a new shoot of which the leaf or leaves are not yet developed. At that moment the base of the shoot is covered with scales.
