Zygo Arthur Elle x Zygo Blue Eyes

[Bolero]

I must admit I am not a big fan of Zygo's but the wife likes them. This one has two spikes with a total of 7 flowers. It flowers every year reliably, if I get rid of it I can fit another 4 or 5 smaller orchids in its place......sounds like a plan!!!

ha ha ha.

Bravo!!! I like the contrast of lip design/color with rest of the bloom a lot!!!

but I am not a 'good' zygo grower ! Jean

No, send it to me. I love Zygos.

lucky you. I cannot grow mine well. its near death

It's a beauty. Is it fragrant? It looks big enough to give away several pieces, and still keep a piece for your wife. Then you'll still have room for more Paphs.

Or divide it, put some new growth on the backbulbs, and put them up for trade next year.

That's what I'm doing with my bench-hog Zygo. mackayi. Takes a lot of space, but it sure smells good!

It is incredibly frangrant. I do plant to divide it as there is too much space between the growths now.

How do you keep the foliage fungal-free. I've tried twice and both times fungal spotting did them in.

Grown outside all year round, I can only assume the air movement stops that from happening.
