COELOGYNE LYME BAY - Up Close & PERSONAL...giving this beautiful bloom it's 7 minutes of fame :)

#Coelogynespeciosa #Coelogyneusitana #HowtocareforCoelogyne
Sequential bloomers are a joy to grow. This spike is now on it's 8th bloom with a 9th bud on it's way. The first bloom opened 07/10/2019 - how is it not a must have orchid in a collection when it blooms for such long period of time. This video was filmed during the last week of April 2020. Once this Coelogyne gets to grow more growths than one at a time, it is possible to have 3 or 4 spikes at the same time, making the pendulous display of blooms something beyond remarkable to behold. I hope that you enjoy this quick look at the bloom and a few details of how I take care of it, here in my Mediterranean climate. If you have any questions, on any topics I may not have covered in greater detail, please feel free to ask away in the comments below and I would be happy to clarify in more detail. Thank you for taking the time to watch and I hope you have a wonderful day!
