    Default 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!!!

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