| New orchid!
Hi all. So yesterday I stopped by my local Safeway grocery store, and I always walk past their floral department becuase they sometimes get some nice orchids and I ran across a zygopetalum orchid. It was unnamed, but I think it is quite beautiful, and I have never seen them at local stores or nurseries. It smells so good too! I also have another orchid in bloom (Mtssa C.M. Fitch Izumi) that I had never seen before. Heres some pics: Also, the last pic is of an unknown. Do you think this is an oncidium? Any hints for the zygopetalum? I know they like to be more moist than others, but anything else? Last edited by crittermom; 01-26-2009 at 08:22 PM.  |

Oooo! That Zygo is beautiful! I keep mine moist, and they like a buoyant atmosphere. Lots of air and room around them. Mine is in a south window, but in northeast NY so it's not as bright as a south window further south!  You got some excellent plants, there!

The last flower is certainly in the Oncid. alliance. I couldnt tell you the exact genus though. Could be oncidium, or a di or tri-genus hybrid hard to say.
