    Cool Miltassia Dark Star 'Darth Vader' with several spikes

    Thought I would share one more orchid today. This one is just started opening. It has several spikes and is really putting on a show. I hope you enjoy it.

    Really lovely. I just got Miltassia Dark Star 'The OrchidWorks' with 4 spikes not open yet. I'm hoping the plant will adjust well and not blast the buds. I've enjoyed looking at yours in the meantime.

    Yours looks great and with 9 spikes, just wait till all of those blooms open! WOW.

    This plant grows very fast. I look forward to seeing yours soon, Angie. And Meg yours will spike soon; it appears to be their season.

    Cheers,

    Thanks, Roy! I don't know that I have ever grown a Brazilian miltonia, but if they are as easy as this one, I want one!!
