The close-up of the emerging flower spikes of Coelogyne rochussenii. WL and Song Orchids refer to this orchid as the "Christmas Orchid" because in Singapore the plant typically flowers around Christmas. It produces many long trailing flower spikes with strongly scented flowers.
Well grown specimens can produce hundreds of flowers. Song Orchids is currently selling pots of these orchids with flowers. My plants are a bit late-flowering this time. The flowering seems to be in response to some environmental stimulus (most likely the recent cool nights).
