Zygopetalum James Strauss rebloom

[ThePinkCucumber]

Everybody meet Bob, our handsome Zygo! This is his first rebloom, I am so proud. I love this orchid so much I'd hug him if I could! Three more buds to go

[wintergirl]

Nice one, great growing!

[ThePinkCucumber]

Thank you so much wintergirl!

either that's a super-sized coffee mug, or the plant is small. Which is it ? I am always on the lookout for smaller growing/sized zygos and this one may fit the bill. Nice.

Well, the plant is underpotted - top of mug diameter is 9cm (I'm planning to repot after this bloom). It is definitely a more compact plant - leaves are longer, thinner and pbulbs are much slimmer than let's say our Zygolum Louisendorf.
I think it would take up less space if I was one of those people who tie the new growths so they grow nice and straight. I just prefer it growing its own way I guess

I'm always on the lookout for a larger coffee mug.

Wow! Splashy flower, beautiful.

Myself, I am very skilled at stunting zygos, even outright killing zygos, but not so much at blooming zygos.

Gorgeous!

I too seem to be better at killing them. And they get spots all over, despite never getting water on their leaves. Don't know what's the secret, but yours is lovely.

Great job, that's a beauty!

Wonderful!
