Default Acacallis cyanea x Zygopetalum Arthur Elle
Got this on a dead plant table 2 years ago and this is the 2nd time blooming, last time with only one spike and one flower, this time 9 spikes and lots of flowers.

Good smell in the heat of day, grow in greenhouse in winter, outdoors in summer.

I love this cross even though I really don't particularly like zygos. By the way this cross has been named, Zygonisia Roquebrune.

Very nice.

Zygo intergenerics with A. cyanea seem to be pretty prolific bloomers, from what I've seen. I have one that spiked a total of three times last summer.
