Coelogyne cristata has the largest flowers in the Coelogyne genus. They are fragrant. Their native habitat is at high elevations along the edges of the Himalayas, mostly in India. They get significant seasonal variation in the climate due to monsoons; they bloom in the winter when the climate is cool and dry. These orchids are relatively easy to care for, their drought tolerance makes them able to cope with neglect, and the flowers are beautiful; I'm not sure why the species hasn't attracted more attention.

Temperatures vary seasonally; during the summer, provide intermediate temperatures of 21-24C during the day. During winter, they like quite cool temperatures of 10-13C. Temperatures should drop 6-8C at night. They can tolerate freezes briefly, but will cope better if they are dry at the time.

These plants can quickly mature into very large specimens that have several hundred flowers at a time. This auction is for 1 potted plant see 3x pictures RED POT (the picture with the flowers are form the parent plant)
