Rescue Zygo - In flower at last!

[RosieC]

OK, so the flowers I've been waiting for for so long are here at last :biggrin.

For those who didn't see my previous post about the spike here is the background. Back in January 2010 the zygo I had not long bought rotted off all growth and by April all the roots were gone too. I was about to trash it when I spotted a tiny tiny growth, and I decided to give it a reprieve.

It's taken a long time to get it growing again, and it only really got going last spring. Then a month ago I noticed a spike Rescue Zygo - Spike!

I'm soooo glad that in the early years when the growths kept rotting off again that I didn't give up!

So here at last are the flowers!



The plant is not the easiest to handle with last autumn's growth going sideways, and it's still not massive, but it's come such a long way

What a wonderful bloom! That is definitely worth the wait and all the work that you put into it!

I have two zygos that I have never yet bloomed and now I just cannot wait to see them...thanks for the beautiful preview.

Wow! How wonderful that you brought it from the brink of the trash bin to beautiful blooms! I hope it blooms year after year for you. These posts are a beacon of hope to those who might think their orchid is a goner. Great job!

Unfortunately it's a NoID so not eligable. Why do the best shots always come from the NoID's
