I like the markings too! Thats why I bought it... It was an impulse buy at an orchid show 3 yrs ago. You know when you land up walking away from a show with orchids that you aren't quite sure why you bought them, but they just landed up being purchased?- this is one of those buys haha I bought another one last week, it should bloom in about 3-4 weeks, so I'm excitied.

Your orchid is so beautiful! I just love milts! I've only had mine for a couple months and already I'm worrying about making it happy. Please tell me your tricks! What kind of light do you give it? How about the temps? I know they like it a little cooler and I'm getting worried it might get too hot in the summer here. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I love milts too! I don't think many people grow them though. I give mine lots of light, it is in a south facing window with a sheer curtain. It gets about as much light as it will tolerate; the leaves are slightly pink at the tips. During the summer I keep mine outside in a shady location. I live in Montreal Canada, but the summers are still pretty hot. I read that temperatures over 30 degrees celcius is too warm, though a few days here and there won't hurt. From September to June, mine is indoors, with average household temperatures.

Gloria/Lagoon has helped me out quite a bit, and has given me lots of information!

Not only can you buy the right one, but you can sure bloom it!
Very nice Cam
I wonder if le paradis will have one like this. I really should take a trip down there eh?!

Thank you for the info! I really want to get another one but I suppose I should wait to see if I can get mine to bloom again one day. lol I guess I'm mostly worried about how hot it may get under the lights in the summer. But only time will tell! Meanwhile I can enjoy pics of yours....
