OK, once more. Miltoniopsis hybridizing is an artform. Not very many people can pick good parents. You can't just take two awarded flowers and cross them to make a great seedling. Most parents on Milts are the ugliest flowers, flowers that will not open because of the heavy substance on the lip and so on.

Also, you can cross a red Milt with a white one and in the same batch of seedlings end up with a red, white, yellow, pink or any color combination of the above colors. Milts are definitely impossible to predict.

So, #4 might produce some award winning flowers but be ugly as all get up and only bredders would recognize it's value.

Also, at the former nursery I worked at, we would throw away or sell very cheap any Miltoniopsis with only one flower on a stem. If they bloom with only one flower on their second blooming then they will never have more than one flower and in the eyes of breeders and Milt sellers, it makes the plant worthless.
