Thanks everyone! It's still in bloom, about 6 weeks after the first flower opened. The lip is no longer such a vivid egg yolk colour, but the petals show no sign of wilting. Still lovely.
I talked to the grower I bought it from - he said it was a division from a very large, old plant. He said that his rarely blooms because his greenhouse is too warm. So keeping that window cracked open through the fall and into winter has been worth it. Our society's annual show is this weekend coming up, and I hope to buy more coelogynes - as many as that windowsill will fit!
