Not all things are victories. I have struggled with Zygo type orchids for over a year, battling life tip die back, rot, insects and now these just plain stink so this will be the last we see of Ashe's attempt at Zygo orchids for a while.

These are my trouble children. Zygonisia orchids. I tried them in semi hydro and they hated it, in large bark their leaves browned and dropped and in small bark they were sad AF. Now I am trying a mix of light soil (please don't put your orchids in soil) to mimic their growing conditions and closely monitoring them. I hope they like their new homes.

Ps. Why are pots with holes in them 4x more money then pots without?!?

Unbelivable... you never know what do you buy with some discount in the flower shop. Written: zygopetalum. Ok, I know zygopetalum and already have two kind of them but this one is not a simple zygo... after a few month ( I know, such a same) i found out it is a zygonisia. And i'm definately happy with it:)

Summer brought a whole lot of nothing as far as flowers were concerned. I also had a few fatalities which inevitably come with a big move; at least we moved to a region that had a climate that is a TEENSY bit (read: a ton) more amenable to orchids' tastes, so just over the past couple months I've already had an explosion of new growth. We'll see if that translates to more flowers in the winter and spring, even though at this point all of my winter bloomers are done for and if anything else blooms in the winter it'll be off season for it. One can still hope.

This one is some sort of Zygopetalinae; it wasn't labeled so I can never be for sure, but I have it in my books as Zygonisia Cynosure 'Blue Birds'. Of course I'd never claim that in any sort of official capacity, but it looks REMARKABLY similar to other specimens that are confirmed as Cynosure, and that name is a lot catchier than "Unlabeled Zygopetalum hybrid." There really aren't, to my knowledge, too many hybrids of Zygopetalum just because there aren't really too many species of Zygopetalum, and the ones that exist are all very similar in appearance. Zygo. maculatum, Zygo. mackaii, Zygo. graminifolium, and Zygo. intermedium, for instance, are remarkably similar. Likewise, the presumptive hybridizer, Acacallis/Aganisia cyanea, has a distinctive shape that I believe I see present in these petals. Plus, every pure Zygopetalum has dappled green/brown tepals and a purple labellum, and this has a purple labellum but dappled white and purple tepals (a quality of Acacallis cyanea). Then again, it is always easier to conjecture when you are already assuming the outcome you want.

Regardless, it is intensely fragrant, just like its presumptive forebears in Zygopetalum, and presents itself, with little variance, in purple and violet tones dappled with white, which is a color combination I find most appealing. The blooms exclusively come in twos, but sometimes there will be more than one spike from the same pseudobulb, resulting in multiples thereof. I originally had two spikes on here, but a shock of poor weather made the tank oppressively dark and humid, which killed one of the spikes when it was most sensitive. Alas, there is always next year.
