With the holidays on the horizon I think they will be carrying more orchids - seemed that way last year, so it may be a good time to look there. I think I may need to go over there as well

Do u thin Miltonia usually release fragrant during morning or afternoon.

Well mine is outside so usually have been watering in the afternoon and I can smell it then - I would guess it's likely stronger in the morning and fades as day wears on. It isn't super strong fragrance like my Sharry Baby which I can smell from across the room. Also I have noticed it takes a few days after the bloom has opened before the fragrance 'kicks in'. I'm not sure if all milts will have the same fragrance. In the past I have noticed some have a fragrance, but nothing special. This particular one has a lovely fragrance. I did not notice the fragrance last year when I got it however. It was a happy surprise when I caught the fragrance this year.
