My First Zygopetalum

Lovely flowers, and fragrant at that!
I am still awaiting my zygos to bloom.
I do not wet the leaves of this orchid.....I soak the pot for five minutes under the sink and wipe the leaves if there are any droplets.... very sensitive leaves and prone to fungi infestation.

Gorgeous!

After some searching, I think mine appears to be "Louisendorf"

The plant size, flower shape, colors, fragrance, pretty much all seem to fit perfectly. and how it is one of the most commonly available in today's mass market.

Beautiful!
I got this same one from Trader Joe's as well! Waited for clean plant with lots of flowers.
Mine had a total of twelve. Pushing out new growth as well.
Doing something funny with the pseudo bulb though...
Does the fragrance on yours come and go?

I think the fragrance is always there, day and night, but the intensity fluctuates on its own agenda. lol

The perfume alone is great, apart from everything else.
