Coelogyne trinervis

This orchid flowered again recently.  It is an easy plant to take care of and flowers very frequently.  Every new shoot starts off as a flower spike and then when the flowers wither away, leaves would start to appear at the base of the flower spike.  These would grow longer and eventually the base would swell into a bulb.

This particular plant was mounted onto a large piece of fern bark and grown in 50% shade.  The bulbs are about 4-5 inches long and leaves are about 15-16 inches long.  It is a rather big plant.
