SVO 9845      NEW   
Zga. Adelaide Meadows (Zga. Adelaide Meadows 'SVO' x Self)

This cross was originally made registered in 1993, that's 20 years ago!  It made a huge impact on me and sparked my interest in Zygopetalum breeding. The flower color, shape, and plant habit are unique in orchids. I have always liked the 'different' kind of plants and this grex blew my mind!  The combination of green petals and sepals with a stunning purple (or even possibly red) lip is truly exceptional, and totally different. The parents of Adelaide Meadows are (Zygo. Titanic x Zga. Dynamo).  'SVO' has been in my breeding collection for years; it is a great grower and reliably blooms twice per year. 
3” pots $20

SVO 9866      NEW   
(Zygo. Fandango 'Blooming Fool' x Zygo. Kiwi Korker '9 Flowers')

While the late Loren Batchman of Casa de las Orquideas, in Solana Beach, CA was famous for his Cymbidium breeding, he also made significant improvements in Zygopetalums.  When he made the grex Zygo. Fandango, he paired two excellent parents: Zygo. Kiwi Korker with Zygo. Mishima Goddess.   Fortunately, I got to see about 30 plants in bloom and picked out the now named ‘Blooming Fool’, and why that name? Well… it blooms with 2, sturdy upright, flower spikes per growth, holding 6-8 flowers on each and does so twice a year…yep, it’s a blooming fool.  The cultivar of Kiwi Korker is surprising not only for it flower qualities but also that it can flower with 9 flowers on a stem!   Here we are looking for high flower counts on plants to bloom twice a year.
