Zygopetallum "Advance Australia"

Oh I'm so delighted to have my first successful re-bloom on a zygo! Apparently they are more challenging to grow and bloom compared to the easy breezy phalaenopsis orchids so I must have done something right!
I find it quite cheerful to have plants bloom in my house throughout the winter months, and especially today with a heavy spring snowstorm descending upon us yet again!
The coloring on the photo does not do this bloom justice. It should appear as a more blueish purple and not this pinkish mauve.
One more thing...too bad your screen does not have a "scratch n sniff" feature as this is one of the most pleasantly fragrant in the orchid world!
