Coelogyne ochracea/ nitida - the most wonderful scent in the world!

Beautiful and well grown Jenny. I'm the "orchid Friend" of paulas who bought this same plant a few weeks ago. Love it and all my other coels. After looking at your culture advice, I will have to pay more attention this falll as to which of mine are the cooler growing and manage them accordingly. What media do you use for your coels?

Thanks All my Coels are in straight medium bark... actually, all my orchids are in that except my restrepia and my pleiones - I'm not very imaginative with my potting mix, but, touch wood, I haven't lost one yet so they obviously don't mind too much! I think some Coels need that extra little drop (like this, cristata and flaccida) while others only need a cool-ish intermediate temp (However, I can't speak to surely about those 'others' as I only have ochracea/ nitida, cristata and flaccida - this is just the impression I get from others).
