Thanks guys, I'm really jazzed. :)

I'm usually not worried about repotting while in bloom. I've done it several times with no dropped blooms. I think if you do it slowly enough and take enough care to feel what the plant needs, you're generally okay.

But I now have three gorgeous blooms and two more buds yet to open on one of the spikes, so I'll see how it feels...

What a lovely find!!!. I'm not familiar with that specie. I will certainly put it on my wish list.

Charmaine, they're native to Brazil, so they should grow beautifully in Jamaica! There are several sources online for Zygopetalums of gorgeous color. I hope you find some. As an added bonus, many of them smell delightful! I'm a complete fiend for Zygo's, I love to share the excitement. :)

Great find!
I have about 20 different Zygo varieties that I have obtained from all over the world (Australia is a great source of different plants by the way.....) and yours seems like a wonderfully healthy plant.
Enjoy!
