Coelogyne tomentosa blooming
Also known as Coelogyne massangeana...the spike and blooms open really fast, in about a week.
Blooms are fragrant.
This is a large plant, but if we consider their potencial, this one is considered small.
I only discovered what orchid is this one year ago 'cause it has never bloomed before. I always thought is was a Xylobium.
Added a photo of when I received it as a gift from my parents as a souvenir from Madeira Islands where they went for vacations.
Enjoy...

Imagine the smell of sweet lemon. Fresh and sweet.

My friend, another beauty. Clearly we live too far apart.

That is really interesting. It looks braided. Very cool. The ruffles on the lip almost seem to mimic the braiding on the spike.

It is a lovely bloom. The brown coloring is striking, but the "transparent" striping on the white petals really sets it apart for me!
