Sounds like an issue with fertilizer/water quality/or light intensity with regards to your Coelogyne. I find them very sensitive to salts in water and respond best to RO water. Also, the ‘lushness’ you describe could mean that it’s getting just enough light to grow well but not initiate flower spikes. Which fertilizer are you using?
