Coelogyne speciosa
 

Native to rainforests of Malaysia, Borneo, Java and Sumatra….. grows in intermediate to warm temperatures with partial shade; on the east facing window of my kitchen. I water regularly all year with no winter rest. It is potted in a 4” plastic pot on top of a humidity tray that I provided with a mix of fine fir bark, tree fern fibers, perlite, charcoal, lava rock and clay pellets. I give it fertilizer weekly weakly with Algoflash alternating with seaweed and worm tea mix.
This underwent mite and fungi infestation that I was lucky it gave me a single bloom....I was expecting a spike with a cluster of 10 to 12 buds....oh well....maybe next season

Very cool!

Thank You, Sonya !

Bud, nice Coelogyne but don't hold your breath for 10 or so flowers, speciosa usually puts out 1 to 3 flowers.

oops...Thanks for the heads-up Glen....I thought it would be like my Coelogyne marthae....so this is more likely similar to my Coelogyne ovalis then....

Very nice, I have a huge one of these growing in my highland Nepenthes area, and it's a fave of mine, but they sure do get big. :p

Looks nice in the vase!

Awesome.

Thank You, Exo!

Thank You, Leafmite !

Thank You, Kim !

Exactly, i was going to say that mine flowers and is quite often sequential, it will have another flower, shortly after another bud and flower....and again. Not a chain of flowers like other coels (unfortunately).
