Any idea what this orchid is?

[JMKentzel]

I bought a lovely new orchid from my new favorite store. However it didn't even have a tag on it. Any guesses on what it is?

Prettty blooms! It looks like a Miltassia.

I would guess miltassia (cross between a miltonia and a brassia) also. I have two, and grow them like an oncidium.
Very pretty, by the way!

Thanks guys! big help.

Kmac do you know if the stems need to be cut to bloom again on these guys?

[Garden Faire]

yes cut on an angle as close to bulb once bloom is gone. When you go to replant, put the bulb that shot the spike last the farthest from the side of the pot for the most room for growth. Enjoy!!She is a beauty

Another suggestion is Miltassia Charles M. Fitch as a possible ID or one of it's 34 named offspring.

I've got that ( or at least I have two examples of the grex) in my collection - not all 34 if that really is the case... mine have charactreristically narrow tepals ( from the Brassia parent) whereas Cairns has rather broader ones.

When the flowers die, you can cut the spike back. The plant will start to put a new growth with a new pseudobulb, and the next spike will come from that growth.

Miltassia Cairns 'Haiku Monarch'.
