(Zygo. Fandango 'Booming Fool' x self)
The late Loren Batchman of Casa de las Orquideas was famous for his Cymbidium breeding, he also made significant improvements in Zygopetalums. His cross of Zygo. Fandango, used two excellent parents: Zygo. Kiwi Korker with Zygo. Mishima Goddess. I was fortunate to see about 30 plants in bloom and picked out 'Blooming Fool', and why that name? Well… it blooms with 2, sturdy upright, flower spikes per growth, holding 6-8 flowers on each and does so twice a year…yep, it's a blooming fool. Selfing it will ensure outstanding results.

(Zygo. B.G. White '4n' x Zygo. Kiwi Korker 'SVO')
Throughout the 1970's, 80's and 90's Zygo B. G. White (Zygo. Blackii x Zygo. mackayi) became well-known and widely distributed. Zygo. B.G. White proved its potential in many hybrids but when it was crossed with Zygo. Blackii, the outstanding grex of Zygo. Artur Elle was created, and it set a new standard of quality in Zygo. breeding that lasted for 25 years! This is an exceptional Zygo. B.G. White is a 4n clonal mutation of Zygo. B.G. White 'Stonehurst' AM/AOS that was discovered in a large population of flowering clones in the 1990's at H&R orchids in Hawaii. This Zygo. Kiwi Korker (Zygo. Kiwi x Zygo. Kiwi Klassic) is surprising not only for its flower qualities but also that it flowers with 9 flowers on a stem! Here we are looking for high flower counts on plants to bloom twice a year. These will be nice; will they be nicer than Artur Elle???

L215
(Gptm. Arelene Armour 'Conching' AM/AOS x self )
These are coming out fantastic with 3-4 flowers on good stems. Every plant that’s bloomed is really nice! Galeopetalum (Gptm.) is an intergeneric hybrid between Galeottia and Zygopetalum.
