    Default Miltassia Dark Star 'The Orchid Works'

    I got this one already in spike. Two of the spikes survived, but the flowers are not arranged very well. They are too close, and some are upside down! I'm hoping the spikes were just disrupted by the change in environment and that next time this one blooms it will look better. I do like the spots.

    Wow, nice colors. I recently saw one for sale and almost bought it, but I already have a lot of purples in my collection.

    Love the spots, especially the tear drops on the lip (it's called lip, right?).

    Very beautiful flowers despite of the arrangement. Overall nice shape, colour and patterning. It's a classic Miltassia, nice choice Angie.
