	Zygopetalum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Temperature Zygopetalums are the among the easiest of the orchids to grow outdoors in southern California, particularly along the coast and up to 15 or 20 miles inland, and are perfect companions for cymbidiums.
		Zygopetalums are relatively resistant to bacterial and fungal diseases.
		Virus infection of a zygopetalum may be caused by insects feeding on an infected plant and then moving to an uninfected plant, but transmission with contaminated tools during dividing, potting or cutting the flowers is usually the cause.

		Adjust your watering schedule to the time of year; in hot summer plants may need to be watered every other to every third day, in the spring and fall two waterings a week is usually ample, in winter reduce waterings to once a week when weather is cool.
		Zygopetalums repotted during high temperatures, generally over 90, tend to show stress marks in their leaves and will often drop several leaves after repotting.
		Some Zygopetalums rot very quickly when potting media breaks down, so it is very important to repot on a regular schedule, usually every two years.

	OSSC - Agamospermy in Zygopetalum
		Perhaps the strangest curiosity in the history of orchid hybridisation is the remarkable prepotency of the genus Zygopetalum over the three genera Odontoglossum, Oncidium and Lycaste, so far as experiments have been made.
		Parthenogenesis, too, is evidently a broken reed to lean upon, for the seedlings from the same seed-pod differed among themselves in colour and other minor characters, which would hardly have been the case had they arisen from parthenogenetic seed-buds.
		In Zygopetalum B.G. White 'Stonehurst', one will see some variation in the nature of the spotting of the tepals, the stance of the flower, the size and the lip markings, depending on the temperature and light conditions during spike development.

	Zygopetalum x Lycaste (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Several years ago, I placed pollen from a Lycaste hybrid onto a Zygopetalum hybrid, which produced a viable capsule from which were grown thousands of seedlings.
		First noted by the pioneering geneticist C.C. Hurst in his quest to delineate orchid groups by their breeding affinities, zygopetalums will readily make capsules when pollinated with many different, apparently unrelated species and hybrids, only to have the result turn out as you observed — more zygopetalums.
		This has not stopped breeders from making a wide array of Zygopetalum hybrids both within the genus and with other related genera, but it is still a fact of life.
