New zygolum hybrid

[orchidsarefun]

I did this cross to produce a more warm-tolerant zygo with a compact size and bigger blooms.
Hopefully I have succeeded in all 3 goals.
These seedlings were out all Summer - with temps occasionally in 100's. They have done OK, with steady growth.
Now a bloom. Its big ! 8cm across. The scent is like a honey/hyacinth mix. Best of all the plant, in pot is about 10in tall. Its also vigorous - blooming at 15 months and on its 3rd pseudobulb. Now - to get bloom count up, which should happen as parents have a good bloom count. Hopefully, because its bloomed, the plant itself doesn't turn into a typical zygo monster.


meant to add - and that bloom colouring is unique
