Zygopetalum - Early Bloomer?!?

[Dorchid]

I mean, it doesn’t look diseased or black or dying. Just a bit chlorotic...it’s been that way since I received it and actually has started looking better. I wouldn’t treat this plant any differently than what I have or with any disinfectants or pesticides/fungicides but cooler temps may help. That said, it appears that DC’s grow like weeds in FL from the pics he’s posted.

Here’s the foliage...it actually looks pretty solid:

I agree, yours looks clean. Mine was when I got it but gradually turned black. I'm not exaggerating.

8 new flowers on this zygo. Just cut a previous spike with 3. Such a cool plant.

You've never told us the name of this hybrid!

Whoops!


It’s about sextupled+ (not sure if that’s a word) in size over the last year and a half.

New blooms.

I really love those flowers! I really like the bold pattern of the petals and the color of the lip on these flowers.

Fragrant? Z. mackayi is VERY fragrant, but some of the more modern Zygo hybrids seem to have had the fragrance bred out of them so fragrance can't be assumed. The saturation of lip color is wonderful.

Not a whole lot. Kind of a faint daisy fragrance…kind of acrid or something. Hard to describe.
