Valentine´s Day Orchid

[sanja28]

My boyfriend bought me this Zygopetalum yesterday. It is first Zygo for me, I have already 5 Dens, 3 Cimbs, 9 Phals and 3 Cambrias.

Very lovely Sanja. Does it have a name or is it an NOID?

[sanja28]

NOID. In Croatia we have a very big problem, all the plants in stores are no name. The plants have little plastic cards with name of the category, for e.g. orchid-cambria, and no further informations.

Beautiful flowers , sanja28.

Truthfully, I've never seen a Zygo with soft colors like that before. Most of the ones that I've seen are really bold. I love the pastels. Very nice.

[patlee]

Me, too. I always thought the Zygopetalums were darker, but I'm crazy about the pastels. The white and lavender is probably my favorite combinationYour boyfriend has good taste!! I'll have to check out the growers around here and see what I can find Sure is pretty...

[Kindrea]

Your boyfriend's a keeper if he brings you these kinds of beautiful flowers!

[sandra]

Love the colors. Enjoy.

P.S. I agree with kindrea!

Nice Zygo sanja! Unusual markings as far as Zygos go.

Ona different note, "Cambria" isn't really an orchid name. It's not a genus like Zygopetalum, Dendrobium, Cymbidium, or Phalaenopsis. Your "Cambria" orchid is properly called an Oncidium hybrid.

Really pretty, sanja!!! Thanks for posting the picture. It's really a sweet flower.

It is very pretty , I havent seen one either with those colors, we have the same problem with tags here in Romania also, none of my orchids have names.

[fred]

nice Zygo Sandra congrats to you

[cupcake]

Gorgeous! I'd hang on to the boyfriend for a while!

[pikevi]

cupcake: we have an orchid show at the Royal Botanical Gardens on the 8th & 9th of march too. I wish flowerchild had not not reminded me of it.

I think I am going to skip going there unless I come up with some solution for restraint

Good luck and happy buying on the 8th of march

It is very interesting that new flowers has different color spots on new flowers by comparison with the blooms which plant had in the beginning. I read that cause can be temperature?

[sanja28]

My Zygo is doing very well. Two new growths!

[articuno75]

I still come back to this thread and stare at the flowers. I just love the colors of the blooms. So sad that you don't have a name for this Zygo. I would love to know what the name of this Zygo is.
