"CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ORCHID IS THIS"

[AJW]

How often do we get asked "CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ORCHID IS THIS" and you are either shown the plant its self or a photo. While we all try our best In this day and age I suspect unless you have a plant of almost the same genera this question is becoming more difficult to answer and will become more difficult over time. (Please don't stop asking)
Why I believe its due to the inter-genera (cross breading) hybridization being undertaken. As an example look at the photo I have presented and without reading the rest of the text see if you can identify this plant?. It is not a species, it is cross genera.
It is 50% Zygopetlaum and 50% Neogardneria its given breading is a Zygoneria so when you look at the plant you would expect to see influence of the above. In part you can in terms of the Bulbs being very much like a Zygo yet the flower follows the other breading source.
The plant is Named classified and registered as "Zga Dynamo." Another Aussie creation first reg. 1992 This has been its best flowering to-date two spikes with a total of 8 flowers and it has a pleasant scent.

Looks nice. I was going to respond that it was a Zygopetalum intergeneric hybrid until I stopped and read the rest of your post. LOL

Good show! Thank you! I suspect there are a lot of great Australian and New Zealandic orchids we never see in the US.

We really need a book like this one:
