My Zigo blooming

[rbarata]

As usual, 5 flowers...no more no less
Grown outside year round near my Cymbs, as you can see by the look of the pot.
This is the only one I have...and don't want any other...zigos look all the same and it gets boring.

wow you grow it way brighter than i do! i am going to move my two

i kind of agree about the genus, i am delighted to have the two i have but other than occasional bizarre ones they are all very similar


great scent though


i love the reddish hue in yours, quite lovely

Go back and look at FairOrchids posts. Kim has some very different ones, as do I.

[DirtyCoconuts]

yours and kims are the few that have always caught my eye. the contrasting colors in the background are the coolest

Carol, can you post a link or two? I can't find any of the posts you've mentioned.
Thank you

this is dolly's latest zyg I have linked.

I also think I am giving mine too little light.

PS Do not like this post, if you like the picture, like dolly's post here :

Keep in mind that the warmer you grow it, the more shade it needs.

Thanks Shade
Checked the links!
I had seen, at least one of the posts...the flowers are beautiful indeed but they didn't lost the "Zigo look".
I'm more interested in species and, as I'm running out of space now, I only get small ones.

About the light of my Zigo...it never gets any sun, be it winter or summer. It's a large and clear north balcony but with white buildings in front at a relatively high distance which reflect many of the sun light. So, I can say it's a north balcony higher light levels than a "normal" north balcony would have.

Abrantes is about 39.5 degrees North. It has a mostly dry, hot summer, right?

Right, ES. Hot and dry.
