Zygopetalum Adelaide Charmer x Kings Park
I found this abandoned on a South London street- yes just left outside a house on a pavement 2 streets from me. I think they had left it out to be collected with the refuse but the refuse collectors often won't collect anything in a black bag, so this monster escaped to find me! It was complete with a handwritten name tag covered with a chocolate bar wrapper and a crisp packet, so at some point clearly has been loved and looked after, but not for a long time! (See attached pics) There were some live roots in all that mess, but not many- only one of the divisions is totally rootless though.
So, I've now gone from never owning a Zygo, to now having 4 decent sized divisions, and 20 backbulbs. It is sun damaged, but if anyone would like a backbulb or one of the divisions and you live in London (or are willing to travel to a central station for a pickup!), please let me know and you can claim one!
