I'm afraid the fragrance wasn't that amazing. You could smell it if you stuck your nose in it, but it wasn't any stronger than that. Maybe you have any tips in order to enhance fragrance?

As for propagation, I am about to try my hands on propagation soon, but it was my intention indeed to at least propagate the less common Coelogynes out there (and other uncommon orchids).
I'm totally in love with the genus and I only see the same ones over and over, which is something I would love to change

Don't be fooled by my collection though, I bought a lot of those this year only. I'm not that experienced in the genus (or even in orchids in general), but I'm passionate and young enough to make plenty of mistakes and learn from them!
