I just had the flowers open on two inflorescences. The parents are Zygo. Arthur Elle x Zygo. Skippy Ku. These are 8-9cm. wide and are very colorful and fragrant. Fragrant is a slight understatement! Every morning the entire plan
The fragrance is floral, kind of reminds me of Lily-Of-The-Valley.
I have about twelve Zygo in my collection and I am starting to repot them. Many are root bound and need attention. When I removed them from the pot, there is a tremendous root system! Reminds me of Cymbidiums.

I am growing these evenly moist and a little on the cool side. I never let them approach dryness.
They do not appear to hold leaves very long, a year and a half maximum. I am using a media of sphagnum moss, seedling bark, charcoal and perlite.
