    I've had this division for a few years. It never seems to have more than five flowers per spike, and the ratio of flower to plant size is not that great. BUT, the fragrance is delightful. IMG_20140311_10.jpg

    William, that is very nice. How large does this plant get?

    this sp may be as big as 50 cm! and flowers are very nice but ratio fully agree not.

    I would say it is a medium size Coelogyne, about the size of mooreana, with flowers the size of flaccida. I am certain once it is a specimen rather than a single lead division, it will be more balanced.

    I got the same orchid last month.
    How do I propagate them or divide the pseudobulbs? I was told that I could bury 30% of the pseudobulb, is that true?
    Many thanks
