    The white and red both have the fragrance of roses. The yellow one in the bottom corner of the first photo has a great, very strong, spicy scent. When it's in full bloom, you can smell all over the apartment and even in hallway leading to our front door.

    Those Milts are really lovely I have always liked them but not grown them well.I had a flask of Miltonopsis phalaenopsis which gave away quickly before they all died.

    Wow. Those are really pretty. I have a couple of those but they seem to be really tough to grow here. Either that or I'm pretty sure I don't keep them moist enough.

    I switched mine over to a coconut husk mix and they love it. Keeps the roots moist and really lets the air in.
