Zygo. Advance Australia 'HOF'AM/AOS

[Ramon-tj]

Hello all

I went to an orchid show in San Diego last week, I was not planing on buying anything this time. But I fell in love with the aroma of this orchid its a Zygo. Advance Australia 'HOF' AM/AOS I hope I can keep it happy, and I'm planning on re potting it to bark as soon as its Finnish flowering since I tend to kill anything in spagnum. enjoy

LOL, I love the name of this orchid. Obviously named by an Aussie with a sense of humour. :P

Beautiful flowers, and fragrant at that! I have this orchid and it hasnt bloomed for me for a while....It must be sulking when I changed windowsill position....

It's one of my favorites too! Mine bloomed twice last year and already has another growth started. It's a keeper!

Adelaide Nurseries in Adelaide registered over 400 hybrids in its time, primarily Zygo's and Cyms. Nothing since 2003 though, so has probably closed down.

Very nice buy! and scented too!!!
I have a Zygo Louisedorf which flowers several times a year.

Last year Mine bloomed twice on two growths. The first time was a single spike form the new growth. The second time, I had 2 spikes from the one growth. I posted pictures on the OB, You can search for them.

So, yes, it can flower twice in one year, because mine did!
