Thank You, Kim !
Thank You, nenella !
Thank You, Jane ! The white and blue pots and the colorful plastic butterflies were the first thing that attracted me to pick up an orchid for the very first time.
Thank You, Vanda Lover...you must be a good painter (chiaruscuro/spumatto) the effects of dark to light is the basic principles of light design for Theatrical performances which is my profession.

and that was it for snow, right ? That's unusual, but then you had a Hurricane last year too.  |

I have this as well, but cultivar "Blue Water Sailing"
Mine has mature bulbs with leaves about 6 inches tall. Is yours also a miniature ? I can't really tell from the photos.
I think I may have a spike developing. Its different from a zygo in that the spikes in zygos develop from the side of the new bulb. This one looks as if, well judging from the old cut spike, the spike develops from the centre of the bulb. I can't tell from the new growth...yet.....but it feels like a tube in there.

The longest leaf from bulb to tip is 14 inches and the shortest is 9 inches...this is like a zygo; the spike came from the side of the bulb near the roots.
Post pictures of your flowers when it opens...

Good flower Bud! I like your chinese pot as well. It seems that you grow your orchids in fancy pots! I definately want to get this one. Does it get really big like other Zygos?
