Miltonopsis are go!

Hopefully, these will not drop dead. I'm hoping the same thing with my recently accquired guinea pig milt, which has finally relented from it's insistent flowering and showing new growth emergent. I was concerned the darn thing was just going to flower itself to death after two months with 48 flowers on a two lead plant.
Bill, do yours have any fragrance? I noticed with mine that after two or three weeks open, they developed a light rose fragrance.

Well, either your nose is more sensitive than mine, or the sun has cooked the scent out, or they don't have a fragrance. I couldn't smell anything.

Keep an eye on them as these orchids do not like heat at all

Lovely. I love Milts although I have not gotten one to rebloom yet. I'm still holding out, though, I got them last August, so maybe this summer. Lots of new growths

Yeah, I know. tbh, I wouldn't have bought any, but they guy had got them specifically due to my prodding, so I had to buy a couple. Anyway, I am a bit of a kamikaze gardener, so what the heck.

I have them outside in partial shade, and by and large there is air movement, and I water them every day.

If they won't grow there, there really isn't anything else I can do.

Beautiful plants.

I bought one last year while it was in bloom. They told me to leave it in a very small pot. Glad to see yours are not. Mine did nothing since i bought it and i just repotted to a little larger yesterday. Maybe she will be happier now.

Mimi, not even new PBs ?

[mimigirl]

There are 2 new PB but no sign of blooming. If my conditioners were right, in a year, shouldn't I have had more progress or blooming?
