Coelogyne Cristata

Lecint , the plant lives outside in full shade for most of the year and is watered when I water all my other plants , the only difference is it is watered at the end of my water run as it does not like too much fertilizer. I move the plant into my greenhouse to flower as the flowers quickly spoil if left outdoors. It always flowers when the Asian monsoon rains start. It is an interesting plant as I discovered some years ago that it enjoys estrogen every now and then.

*gasp* ! I've been wanting one of these ever since I saw a picture of it in "The Practical Encyclopedia of Orchids". Just dreaming about it again when I stumbled upon this recent post! Great growing!

This is what it looks like now, with most of the flowers open . Only 18 days to our show am I going to get it there ? It usually starts losing its flowers a few days before the show!
