    This orchid, Coelogyne lawrenceana, sent up 2 flower spikes in May 2023. They sat and sat and sat but now we have the flowers. Beautiful and so large, 5 inches across. Fabulous and worth waiting for.

            Great pics; we are really in the heart of those orchids! By the way, could you please PM me to discuss another matter privately

              I am not 100% sure, as I have full functionality on my account, but I believe if you have chosen not to have anyone have Conversations with you, then equally that will blank out you starting conversations with others. This is a privacy setting that some people choose if they only wish to interact on the main forum pages.

                There are so many settings on this forum that it's easy to miss something out! @On the Levels please go to your Profile page and check if you have checked the Start conversations with you box...
