Coelogyne xyrekes

[Ron-NY]

This has wonderful color but wish it was a faster grower. I only get one new growth and spike a year. It is a sequential bloomer.

Wonderful!!! I love the lip! How do you grow it?? TYIA

 

[Ron-NY]

I grow it in a basket of bark mix...intermediate but is can do cool to warm. Light is eastern exposure

 

[NYEric]

Is it fragrant?

 

[Ron-NY]

Eric, I believe not

Unusual color for a Coelogyne -- I like it!

What could you cross it with to keep the color but get more flowers???

Possibly Coelogyne massangeana but will also decrease the flower size. xyrekes is a sequential bloomer so one flower at a time but an extended season
