Blooming now (200910-18)

This is Zygopetalum Kiwi Geyser. These orchids can be grown right next to Cymbidiums and bloom around this time of the year just before Cymbidiums start blooming. Zygopetalum orchids usually have very strong fragrances.

This is another Zygopetalum hybrid that is blooming now. The tag on this orchid indicates it is a hybrid cross between Z. Arthur Elle and Z. Kiwi Geyser. The lip on this flower is almost solid purple. This also has a very strong fragrance.

I won't take credit for flowing this beautiful multigeneric hybrid (Cochlioda, Miltonia, and Odontoglossum), called Vuylstekeara Fall In Love 'Lovely Lady'. I bought this two weeks ago at the Southbay orchid show. There is no fragrance, but it definitely makes up for it with branching spikes of long lasting large flowers.
