Zygopetalum

[JLOG]

This is my biggest plant I have, it’s a no id Zygopetalum, loves the soil very wet, and has a sweet scent.

Love it! They seem to like it really wet. Don’t you just love the scent? I think it’s one of the best,

Absolutely!! every time I enter the greenhouse it is a pleasure for the nose. So I go in as often as I can

Beautiful ! I love the genus!

My goodness, I'd try to grow such a beauty for the scent alone. It's very pretty too.

Good color. Thanks for the info. Wet ewe can do, now I must get one.

I like it very much. Lovely ! I assume, it's a no name hybrid...otherwise you would have written its name ? Many, many years ago I grew a Zygopetalum mackayi which colouration is similar but not so intense and I was really mesmerized by it. Unfortunately I can't remember its scent.

They are delicious. Like perfumed laundry soap from the 1970s.

You are so far from me, otherwise I can give you a division in the next repot

Thank you Guru, sorry but has no name, in the tag only had written Zygopetalum, and I don’t know if is a species or an hybrid, I guess is an hybrid.

I wasn’t born in 1970 yet jejejej, but I get an idea of the scent you want to express

i also have a Zygopetalum that just has that as it’s name tag, flowers are pretty identical to yours, from Burnham Nurseries and I bought it as Artur Elle, have attached old photos of it blooming to compare.

Not necessary. Thank you. I will find a vendor with something similar here.

Zygopetalum intermedium is similar. There are color variations within the species.
