Fortunately, Coelogyne orchids are easier to grow than they are to pronounce. This glorious genus of orchids originates in Southeast Asia, in a large area stretching from India and China to Indonesia, New Guinea, the Philippines, and Fiji. Many varieties have tumbling cascades of fragrant blooms. Their brilliantly-colored flower lips often feature weird ridges and frills. These photos represent less than a dozen of over 200 Coelogyne species<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To pronounce Coelogyne, say \u201csee-LODGE-in-ee.\u201d Their wide range spans different habitats, and there are varieties for warm, intermediate, and cool conditions. Many which come from the Himalayas grow well as outdoor plants<\/a> in the SF Bay Area, and other cool, foggy climates. The flower in the final photo below belongs to a Coelogyne mooreana<\/em> plant which has reliably bloomed outdoors for me for over a decade. Its perfumed flowers last more than a month. (The other photos are from orchid shows and botanical gardens.)<\/p>\n

Coelogynes need regular waterings<\/a> during spring and summer. Give them bright light<\/a>, including some morning sun<\/a>. They enjoy regular fertilizer<\/a>, high humidity, and good air movement<\/a>. Warm growers do not have a dormant season<\/a>, but water should be reduced for cool and intermediate growers over winter. These impressive orchids will inspire you to have Coelogyne rolling off your tongue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
