Zygopetalum

I only have two Zygo's and they flower at different times for me. This one is so fragrant that it fills the G/H all day with a most pleasant scent... I love going out there just to be in its perfume! Don't know why the flowers are so "every which way." I tried to rearrange them in the 2nd pic.

Wow, so pretty! Would you please put down your general care instructions for these? I am new to them, and don't want to send mine to the great orchid cemetary any time soon.

Hey Connie, to tell you the truth, I treat them like Cattleya with lots of bright light and just water more than catts... I grow in bark/CHC. Now, whether this is good cultural information or not... I haven't killed them, yet!!!

What great pictures and pretty blooms these are. Great photography!

hi howard,
thats a species i wouldnt get here, always thought they need cooler temp?

photos are lovely!

Nope, I had this out on the driveway with my catts all summer long.. my driveway is the only location I have that gets sun from about 9AM til 4PM

They can be fairly temperature tolerant but do not like overly hot..if humidity is good they can adapt fairly well to warm temps
