I swore I wouldn't... but I did.

I said to myself the other night. Hmm... my shelves are looking crowded for my taste. And I dont really want to crowd them more.
This coupled with my increasing interest in miniatures is why I decided that night that I really didn't have room for anymore standard size plants.
I swore to my myself that I would get anymore plants except for one's with pre allotted space.

That blew up in my face today. I shouldn't have gone into trader Joe's...

I got two more zygopetalum crosses!
I'm a huge sucker for the "blue". And fragrance. Plus I've discovered I really enjoy my zygo flowers, and the plant is gorgeous to me.

So... the first one is incredibly fragrant.
My whole room is drenched in its smell.
Like hyacinth and lilacs.
It's an incredibly pretty purple.
One that shifts from "blue" and grey, to a bright amethyst, to a deep royal purple depending on the light. The inside is light green. They cup a little and have this ostentatious breezy feeling that I adore.

The plant is compact. There's two spikes with about 4 flowers each.
The flowers present poorly but I can fix that I think.
I believe this one isn't pure zygo.



This one I do think is pure zygo...
My other zygos have thinner curved petals. This one has rather round flat short ones.
The fragrance is also divine. Seriously just as strong. Made my whole downstairs smell for hours just by being in the kitchen for 30 minutes.
It also smells of lilacs and hyacinth. But with a distinct hint of clove and an undercurrent of white wine.
Two spikes each with 8 flowers.
The plant isn't too large but not add compact as the other one. Some mechanical damage to the buds and leaves.



And lastly this twinkle like oncidium.
Tiny flowers that open yellow but turn cream and green. Smells like cupcakes.
I got it for a specific reason lol.
