Coelogyne mooreana

A showy Coelogyne from the highlands of southern Vietnam, with large white flowers and a yellow-orange lip, usually in winter or spring. It is a cool grower: mild days, cold nights and a drier, cooler winter, much like Coelogyne cristata.

Where it grows wild

Grows on trees and mossy rocks in cool, cloudy montane forest of the Da Lat plateau and nearby mountains; habitat detail is generalised from what is known for the species and genus.

Records carry few elevations; the climate sites are at about 1,800-2,300 m, while growers' notes often cite roughly 1,300-1,800 m.
