    Talking first orchid progress

    Just an update on the first miltasia i got in February.
    After 6 weeks of not watering the large plant as it was showing classic over watering signs i went to water it this morning and to my amazement i have found 3 very healthy new growths

    Just goes to show that neglect can sometimes really pay off

    unfortunately they have both just come out of bloom so will need some time to grow a bit more but hopefully, given time they will bloom well

    I have 3 miltasia plants so it should be brilliant if they all bloom together.
