I like this last one a lot Dot because of the very interesting distribution of color intensity on petals, sepals and lip!!!! Jean
I got to thinking about that one.
You sure it's zygo x pabstia and not the reciprocal? I was under the impression that zygos take over most of the form in intergeneric hybrids when they are the "mom".
For example, here's Zygo Perelandra x Pabstia jugosa from the greenhouse today:
The cross was quite prolific. Bill Porter (Porter's Orchids) is growing up the seedlings in his greenhouse. As I see them bloom, I take home the ones I want to keep.What a great show of variation!
How much plants of this cross did you grow to bloom, Dot?
After seeing the growth habit and shape of the flowers, I think this is actually a cross between Pabstia jugosa and Zygosepalum labiosum. I made that cross at the same time as Z. Kiwi Dusk x Pabstia jugosa. Long story, but I think the lab got the names mixed up and sent these with the wrong name. The plants tend to be climbers, and neither jugosa nor Kiwi Dusk have that habit, but labiosum sure does!Do Zygos self pollinate?
