[RJSquirrel]

my zygo kiwi dusk is spiking w/buds now. 2nd plant hasnt started to spike yet, but it will

I got blue ribbon on this plant last year at the Galveston Orchid Show.

Lovely flower. How's the fragrance?

[RJSquirrel]

they smell wonderful not to strong and not to light where its so elusive you have to bury your nose in it

It looks like it will be wonderful! How mature/big is the growth that the bloom spike is coming from? I have read that they bloom before the growth is fully mature. I have one with a new growth that has never bloomed yet and I am hoping to see a spike in the next month or two. The new growth is still pretty small-maybe 2 inches tall.

Very nice colors on that one.

Do you know if that is a readily available plant that is likely to show up as a noid at home depot? Flowers look like my gift noid. Its doesn't like my conditions very much, growth is SLOW. It has 3 'somethings' coming but I don't know if they are spikes or new psbulbs. Wish it looked like yours.

Very Nice RJ, congrats

Got to thinking...I hope I wasn't insulting when I asked if my noid could be similar to your named hybrid, none intended, I apologize as I was raised by wolves and sometimes lack finesse.

Several years ago when Lowes was in its previous incarnation a new employee did not remove tags from a shipment of orchids. They were from a good grower in California and very nice. Our local HD seems to get some decent ones as well sometimes.

yes its very small growth about 1/2 around at the base and (2) 4-5 inch leaves. It hasn't made a bulb yet either. So this one bloomed before the bulb . The bloomed out growths from last year are just starting to die out some on the leaves. When this one blooms I take it out the bright light to keep the blooms from fading out too fast. They will love you a long time for 20 $

I grow these right along with the miltys, masdys and paphs.

Give me Bright cool and uniformly moist or give me death


And noids? hehe yes I have seen some similar to these at Lowes and HD. But Those have been zygonesia and not zygopetulams. I have one of the zygonesia from the Lowes and its bloomed out too but with just 2 little odd blooms.

Thanks RJ. I have hope for mine and look forward to seeing yours in bloom!
