Default Coelogyne speciosa, Java variant

I guess I'm fortunate enough to bloom this lovely orchid in lowland tropics whereas this species is usually found in highland tropical forest. Seems like plenty of rain and drop of temperature lately helped stimulating bloom. This species is native of Java. Lots of variants can be found but this one has light brown labellum color. Several new bulbs are developing and each will give out new bloom in several weeks time.

Very nice. I like the color and shape of it. Does it have any fragrance? That would definitely seal it for the wish list right now.

Thanks Brenda.
This unique flower has a very large labellum while top petals are very small. The labellum is about 3" long.
