Coelogyne Burfordiense

A primary hybrid from C. asperata x C. pandurata, created by Sir Trevor Lawrence at Burford Lodge, Dorking, Surrey, U.K. and registered on 1^st Jan 1911. Only used once since as the seed parent of Coel. South Carolina for which it was crossed with one of its own parents – Coel. pandurata which was created by Carter & Holmes Orchids of Mendenhall, South Carolina and registered in 1996.

Coel Burfordiense is very similar to its pollen parent in shape and form, a little paler green colouring and the marking on the lip more brown, nevertheless it is a good mixture of the characteristics of both parents.

Needs to be grown warm, well watered when growing, high humidity and good light. A little less of each when new growth as matured to induce flowering. Better mounted than potted.
