Default Cristata and fimbriata
The first coelogyne to bloom in my care! I know this one is supposed to be super easy and common, but I love it, brown furry lip and all. It is super cute.



Also, I discovered that the dried up things which I thought were dead growths (I ended up ripping one off last month) are actually spikes on my coel. cristata and they are emerging! I am SO EXCITED

Here is a closeup of the buds:

That's awesome! Way to go on the growing. I think your coelogyne is quite beautiful... hairy lip and all

Wonderful. I've grown a lot of orchids but missed the Coelogynes.

I love your first coelogyne! You're right, it is really cute! Be sure to post some pics for us when your cristata blooms so that those of us who don't have one can drool over it :P!
