Coelogyne lawrenceana ???

[Lars Kurth]

I bought this one labelled Coelogyne lawrenceana, which it most certainly isn't. Any ideas?

It is lovely though!

Looks like Coelogyne Memoria W. Micholitz, a primary between Coel. lawrenceana and Coel. mooreana. One of my favourite primary hybrids, but sadly too large for me to grow. Yours looks wonderful.

Did a bit of reading and I think you are right. Thanks for the tip.

The plant is not that huge though: slightly smaller than asperata and pandurata.

I second Calvin's opinion. See my avatar!

Unfortunately, mine now has very shrivelled pseudobulbs. Was just repotted in the spring but something seems to be going wrong.

I agree with the above posts...it's not lawrenceana. Lawrenceana has bronze-colored petals/sepals, and waxy flowers.

It's a very nice plant, though.
