Lovely flowers which I know nothing about. Do these two have a sweet
fragrance?

I love the patina'd purple on the Zygonisia, but I'm also a sucker for clean, milky whites like on the Pabanisia.

Ohhh! So nice, so romantic!

Nice flowering. For me not easy to cultivate! Did you cultivate it in pure sphagnum?

Those blooms are stunning, Dot! Congrats! I know how they can be difficult to grow!

I've not noticed a fragrance. :sob:

That would be the last medium I'd choose. After much trial and error with my Zygos, I find they want a fast draining mix with lots of aeration. The Pabstia and Cyanea hybrids like warmer temperatures, more like Phals. I almost lost these plants learning all that!

Sweet blooms!

Both superb Dot.

I don't see much standard zygo in the first one...Artur Elle is a standard zygo, and that looks like a Aganisia. A case for cleistogamy?

I agree that Aganisia predominates. But it doesn't look exactly like cyanea.
