Very nice! I love Zygos. My one bloomed beautifully last summer and didn't this year at all. So I will enjoy yours.

Adorable blooms....it must be very fragrant in that area. The leaves are sensitive so you get cold spots from water droplets reacting to the sunlight. Make sure to use a paper tower to dab the leaves dry when you water the plant and spray it with fungicide to be on the safe side.

no fragrance ( yet ? ), disappointing.
Maybe when the blooms are in full sun - I have noticed with my other hybrids that this helps. We have had dismal weather here.

Wonderful!

I think mine is louisendorf and indeed, there is not a single spot on the leaves.

Mine is shooting up two new growths and lots of roots.

Yours have lots of spikes going!

I still want a Zygo... don't have one yet..

Hcastil3, they are fun, and pretty fast growers, plus it's hard to beat that fragrance!

[orchidsarefun]

its fragrant ! in full sun.......

[ron-in-norcal]

I noticed mine won't have fragrance until the sun hits it through the window. Fortunately, that's a lot of the day at this time of year. They can perfume a good part of the upstairs here.

Beautiful, and bonus that it's fragrant!
