Zygopetalum mackayi 'Pacific Spirit' × self
|

From Troy Meyers: Plants of the species Zygopetalum intermedium are frequently mislabeled Z. mackayi, and Z. mackayi itself is quite rare. The flowers are similar, but careful examination is required to determine which species a plant is. We've posted this as Z. mackayi because the donor knows all this and is still confident that that is a correct ID. If we can, we will follow up with a confirmation of the plant's identity.

Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). It is grown the same way as any other Zygopetalum.
Comments: Parent plant: As far as I know this is a true Zygopetalum mackayi. It came from a long time grower and the flowers are different from a Z. intermedium which I also have. Large plant.

You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
