Miltonia 'Voluptuous' - Orchid Board

Here is my newest bloom. I bought this as a young plant two years ago, and had no idea what it would look like bloomed. I should have waited until it opens more fully before snapping pics, but I can never seem to wait. No fragrance, but a very large and beautiful bloom. Hope you enjoy as well.

I love it, Kiki. Wish I didn't have so much trouble keeping these guys alive, let alone blooming.

Gorgeous, Kiki!! Really beautiful. I do so wish my conditions (both temps-wise and space-wise) would allow me to try a Miltonia. They are just too pretty. Good job!!

Blooming in the Winter and beautiful too? My kind of orchid. If you have time you can take a picture against a snowy background. It would look great.

Very nice Kiki. Not much luck with them so I've steered clear.

That's very pretty Kiki! I like the color and the waterfall lip. Very nice. I'm finally starting to get the hang of these guys. One of my NOIDs is in spike now and that's after I divided it last spring. Both of mine are red and both are fragrant. You may find the fragrance develops as the spike matures. I also found with mine that they scented from about 10am - 3pm. It was definitely more noticeable on warmer days.
