I first saw this Zygopetalum orchid (also known as Divine Rhein Moonlight) at the Royal Botanic Gardens Orchid Show in Hamilton, Ontario. The five burgundy and green petals along with the neon pink petals were so unusual, they drew me in. The light shining through the petals and the shadows they cast illuminated them in an almost spiritual and dramatic way. So aptly named Divine Rhein Moonlight!
