Snapchat- Tropplantparty Instagram- TropicalPlantParty Twitter- @TropicalPlantJc My favorite of my zygopetalum type orchids is back in bloom! This is the Gptm. Starburst 'parkside' which is an AM/AOS awarded orchid. I almost lost this gem a couple of years ago to some unexpected cold, and am thrilled I did not give up on it! Gptm is the abbreviation for Galleopetalum. The parents of this cross appear to be Galeottia Fimbriata and Zygopetalum 'Jumping Jack'. Galeottia fimbriata comes from lower elevations and is much more heat tolerant than its relative Zygopetalum orchids. Music by Ehrling: https://soundcloud.com/ehrling
