My First Zygopetalum

[NYCorchidman]

This is a NOID zygo that I got this week from TJ.
I see this same variety of zygo offered quite often at the store, but they always had spots everywhere and just two or three flowers at most.

Well, this week, I saw this one with clean leaves and one spike loaded with flowers/buds (total of 7!) and a new growth going.
The whole thing is rather small, so I like that too.

So I grabbed it.

It smells just like my favorite spring flower, hyacinth!

Upon closer examination, I find that one flower is malformed. Two of the petals are fused together and there is no lip at all.
