Zygonisia Cynosure ‘Blue Birds’
Zygonisia Cynosure 'Blue Bird' AM/AOS
(Aganisia cyanea X Zygopetalum Skippy Ku)
A cool mix of the South American species Aganisia cyanea and a Zygopetalum hybrid. This mericlone has a fairly typical shape and form for a Zygopetalinae intergeneric hybrid. I have seen darker violet of this flowers but I was surprised my blooms are lighter with lots of lavender-blue highlights especially on the lip and column and at the tips of the sepals and petals. This usually have three or four flowers per inflorescence and mine has five which is not bad at all for me. I read that Zygopetalinae intergenerics are good candidates for culture under lights because of their low light requirements. They also do great in semi-hydroponics. I keep this plant fairly moist year-round. Fertilizer weekly weakly.
This has a slight scent of fresh cut hay.
The tag also indicated "Patent process initiated".

Awesome! I just love the blooms on this one! I was tempted to buy one at orchid show a few weeks ago, but haven't done to well previously with Zygo and hybrids of, so passed it up. Maybe someday ...
Good growing!

Gorgeous plant! I am always drawn to purple and lilac colors.
I also love your pots! They are a nice complement to the plants.
