Miltonia Purple Queen and Miltonidum Bartley Schwarz

[catttan]

Yew try using Confidor, its better than Malathion according to my experience. It is a tobacco analog and works systemically in plants and is harmless to humans pets and honey bees.

Thanks Amey. I'll try to look for the product.

BTW Milt Purple Queen is a warm growing Miltonia, the ones we used to refer to as Brazilian miltonias as opposed to the cool growing Colombian miltonias, which are now classified as Miltoniopsis. Mtdm Bartley Schwartz is a cross with one of the warm miltonias. Unfortunately the warm miltonias have few flowers on a spike unlike the cooler miltoniopsis.I've had Milt Purple Queen for more than 35 years and at one time I grew it into a specimen plant with more than 20 spikes with each spike bearing 2 flowers.
