I bought this last month in bud. I like it very much, and it smells lovely!

I love Zygos their look is so tropical but I find their scent so interesting, a lot more delicate than the flower looks, if that makes sense,very nice

Beautiful.

It's nice to see such fine Zygopetalum flowers again. I would love to have a couple more of these, but I believe from my experience that they tend to prefer intermidiate temperatures or definitely on the cool side which I have a hard time providing. Please correct me if I'm wrong Kathi. Thanks for posting these beauties. AL

Kathi - so great to see a zygo photo! Does it have 'Artur Elle' in it? I've found - and I think Al is right about this - that they prefer cooler temperatures than I can give them in my windows. Doesn't stop me from buying one, though - if I see it I have to have it!

Maura: It does not have Artur Elle in its lineage, but they both trace back to the same ancestors: crinitum, maxillare, intermedium and mackayi.

Al: It (and Artur Elle as well) is recommended for cool to warm...both say "composed of species of which 100% take cool temperatures and 100% take warm temperatures. Grow this hybrid in cool to warm conditions, or 58°F to 75°F at night."

I grow them indoors, which makes it pretty easy to meet those nighttime temps here...although the sunroom may get warmer than 75 at times, it doesn't stay that way long.

Thanks Kathi! This is on top of the wish list. AL
