Coelogyne mooreana grows in Vietnam in high mountain cloud forests. It is fragrant and blooms in spring and early summer on immature growth. The genus Coelogyne (Coel) contains 100 species found in all of Asia east of India and Indonesia and Fiji. Conditions vary considerably.
I have no idea why this plant wanted to bloom now, but I am not complaining. Not a whole lot is flowering just now even though there should be next month.
This is the only one of this species in the Napa greenhouse. The others are in Sonoma and were hurt by the cooling failure in the summer. Some died and the others are just starting to recover. I am going to divide and re-pot this since it is overflowing the 3 1/2-inch pot and has two leads.
