Here's where you can post your comments, questions and progress of your Coelogyne cristata project plant! :goodluck:

Thanks Dave! Looking forward to seeing all the pics!

My cristata arrived yesterday.

Awesome. The bulbs look different then what I'm use to seeing.

I've never seen one before so I had no idea what to expect.

I hope no-one minds but I've added 'Cool/Intermediate/Warm' to the title the project threads, for people like me who are following the projects which they are not part of, but can't remember which plant is which :blushing:.

:Tup:

Here's my new arrival. It's got really krinkled bulbs and 3 new growths.

Beverly's also seems to have got quite crinkled bulbs.

Are there only the two of you got this one so far?

Can anyone tell me where to look for buds or spikes on these?

Take a look at my picture I posted on the 1 page here, and you can see a old spike coming from the base of the bulb.

We had 9 participating.

Thanks Dave. My sight is not what it used to be.

Just checked my plant and the new pseudoblub appears to have what I hope is a spike. It could be new growth, either way it a good thing. Again it's outside under my Oak tree and getting watered twice a week. I wonder if this one needs a winters rest??? So what's up with yours?

Way cool, Dave! :wtg:

I'll have to take a closer look at mine tomorrow :crossfing

Keep us updated :Tup:

I have mine in a southern window. I'm giving it a bit of a winter rest.

Hey Dave! Thanks for reminding me to check on this plant! I have 2 of those things that you have. I think those may be spikes. Sadly I also see one that dried out and it is very dead. Probably got too hot in the window for that one. I have it inside, in the bathroom window. It is in the corner between a south and a west glass block wall. Lots of light and a bit too much intensity up until the last couple weeks. About 75 degrees all the time (except when it was getting full sun through the glass). I moved it up closer to the ceiling to cut out some of that. I need to water it more often, too. If I give it a rest, I will do it in Dec. Still summery here.

Hi Everyone, :waving
After seeing isdaojon's gorgeous Coelogyne cristata yesterday, I decided we need to bump this thread up.
Has any one had any luck getting theirs to bloom?
I just checked on mine, thinking that it would be close to death after a severe winter rest. I started picking at what looked to be a brownish dying psuedo bulb and found a bud.Oops! I really hope I didn't hurt it. :blushing:
I'm hoping to post some pictures soon.

I think mine blasted. Good luck

I have 3 spikes. I hope they open.

I've been checking mine 2 or 3 times a day and look what I found this morning.:biggrin:

I'll post more pictures after they're all open.:biggrin:

:cheer:

Great to see Beverly, it's looking good!

Awesome Beverly, I missed this post and where have I been. I have what I think is 5 new growths but looking at yours I'm not sure. Here's a picture of mine. What do you think?

Well it has been a year since we did this project! How is everyone's plant doing? Mine has a few new growths but didn't flower. Too hard to grow this one in south Florida.

I just found this thread again. I'm sorry I havent been on OB much the past few months. Here is a picture I took after most blooms were open on 3 spikes. I kept it dryer, cool and lots of light from autum until the buds started opening. [IMG]http://www.orchidboard.com/community...humbs/0322.JPG[/IMG]
