:cheer:

Oh Nice! :)
Looks like the head of a dragon :nod:
Congrats :clap:

It certainly is a different kind of flower. I'm just so happy that it opened. It took months!!:shock:

:clap::clap::clap: Major congrats to you then :clap::clap::clap:

Thank you!!! I'm happy that it seems to be happy - if that makes sense?!

A lovely bloom.

It reminds me of Coelogyne fimbriata which has a similar look with this one.

OOOOOOhhhhh that's lovely! I have a coellogyne that was donated to me in July and I can't wait to see it flower! It's grown 2 really fat pseudobulbs, so perhaps I will be lucky next year!

Judi, congrats! Do you know which Coelogyne it is? Some have the most spectacular white flowers...

Like these two that I also have:

I also have this one:
Coelogyne zurowetzii on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
but it isn't listed on IOSPE...

The cristata has really beautiful round pseudobulbs.... just beautiful! :biggrin:

:blushing: I'm SO sorry! I seem to have missed this important thread!

It's lovely :love:
You must've been watching that bud like a hawk! :)
