Miltonia Orchid in Full Bloom

[raika]

This guy i took in my travel to Dalat, Vietnam. Today it full bloom but i dont know ID. In my area to difficult to grow it. Now it blooming but no have any new root...

It's beautiful! If is blooming, you must be doing something right! Sorry I am not familiar with Miltonia yet, but is on my "to try" list... Good luck!

Such a lovely delicate color! I hear some of those like cooler temps...which is why I haven't tried them. It is too hot and humid here in the summer for the delicate cool loving orchids. Yours is very nice!

That is pretty. I noticed this morning our miltonia is in bud too.

Cheers,

Very nice . I can imagine it's hard to grow in your warm/hot climate! Good growing.

Beautiful !
I have several, when the temperatures start to climb they go in more shade in the greenhouse. In the fall to a higher light area . .. Gin

[Brutal_Dreamer]

That is a good idea, Gin. I always leave mine near the kool-cell. I wonder if it would do better with more light in the fall?

Cheers,

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if Miltonia Cogniauxiae is a good candidate for growing INDOORS? I have a south facing window that provides bright light. I'm looking for a fragrant orchid for a novice. I'd appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you.

Romulus, I put Cattleyas in my south bay window, that might be something to consider. Many of them are fragrant.

That's a pretty Miltonia. I went against my better judgement and brought home several Miltonias from Hawaii. Now I am totally stressed by them because Houston is way too hot to grow them, so I had to bring them into house, then worry about low humidity because AC is running.

Romulus, I agree with Cindi about cattleyas. Miltonia is beautiful, but not really novice orchids, IMHO.
