So...
What I've noticed.
Three of the buds were on their own developing spike. It can produce two spikes per bulb, and only seems to produce three buds per spike.
It's since opened two more buds. I have a total of 6 open flowers now.
Three developing buds, and a second developing spike are on the way.
I'll post pictures later...
I'm just really happy with this plant and wanted to share.

Ok so... here's all six flowers. You can see it carries three flowers per spike.
Followed by a picture of the unopened spike with.... three buds lol. And the little developing spike on the bottom.
I'm very happy with this orchid, now let's hope I don't kill it.

That's a VERY nice find you have there! I love the flowers! May have to see if I can find one....

I just stopped at Lowes today on my way home from work and got three really nice bagged plants. A LC, a Potinara and a Catt. One was even on my wish list....Blue Azure! (King George Serendipity) Can't beat the price for $12.00.

They had a clearance rack of Phals....all yellow and wrinkled and in BAD shape for the same price.

Love your Zygo!

Thank you. Honestly my brain went "ooh a zygo!" And I bought it without looking too hard at the plant. Luckily for me it's superbly healthy.
Try Trader Joe's! Each one around me got one in. And only one lol...
I wish wish wish I could find those bagged orchids near me.
Alas none of the Lowe's every carries them.

Nice! Love the Ziggies. Well it's a love + hate thing, but I'm a fan :-)
Now if I could quit rotting off new growth one by one...
Any way, good show!
