We were away for 6 days and the largest Zygo spike grew a good 3 inches or more in those 6 days! When these decide to bloom, they don't waste any time!

Yeah yeah yeah. Zygos are so nice. I can't seem to get them to grow without them getting black rot. I've almost given up. So enjoy them when they bloom. Pics please.

Pics for sure, I am so excited about that one and then to have 2 spikes from the pseudo bulb really made me happy. I have never found a photo of this hybrid so all the more intriguing. This had a lot of spots on the leaves when I bought it from Paramount last year and they said it was inevitable. But I found giving it good air and not getting too much water on the leaves did away with the problem.
