Zygo hybrids SPIKE!!!
I got home from a boring day at work to find SPIKES!!!! I am so happy. I left these plants outside all summer in a little plastic green house. The temp is starting to drop so I was bringing them in and saw one good size spike and the plant has a little one. I am very happy. This is the first time they re-bloomed for me I have had them since dec 2014.
You really need patience when it comes to growing orchids. Thats why I like to keep many around so one is always in bloom.
Here is my Zygopetalum
and my Zygonisia

so now I have my Miltoniopsis About the bloom and now these 2 zygos in spike. I think I have found my green thumb. Now if only I could get my paphs to rebloom but I think they will need the most time.

Iray - if it doesn't want to bloom try a slightly warmer environment or slightly more light. And by slightly I really mean slightly - I managed to burn a few leaves!
