Hi all

I am a new poster to this list.

In answer to the above question:

cee-law-ji-nee (as per Alex D. Hawkes in his Encyclopedia of
Cultivated Orchids, this book has a list of phonetic pronunciations
for many other orchids and their hybrids as well)

Another one I have found common in the USA is like this:

koh-law-gi-nee

Hope this helps

I have always heard it pronounced 'sell-LAH-jenny'

"The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Orchids" by Alec Pridgeon offers two
pronunciations:
see-lo-GUY-nee and see-LODGE-eh-nee

Whatever, say it with confidence and if anybody corrects you implement dirty
look #384b or #384c (if you can't make your upper lip do that weird jerking
thing).
