My first zygopetalum, the Jumpin Jack variety. It’s got such a cool pattern on the flowers. I thought people were exaggerating when they said these plants do not have a floral scent, but one more ‘spicy’. But these blooms smell EXACTLY like black pepper. Not everyone’s cup of tea, of course, but what an interesting orchid.
I really like these. They have interesting color combos, and I like the softer foliage. Not as pokey as an oncidium. Just the thing to “spice” up any orchid collection. I had one years ago but it didn’t appreciate my tender loving care. I’m trying again with a seedling. It hasn’t died so maybe I’m doing a better job? Thanks for sharing!

1 likeI just think spreading that kind of misinformation is going to lead to major disappointment for growers. And it’s SUCH an easy thing to avoid!
