Such a beautiful flowers, Super color :D
I've got 2 milties comming from clouds soon, sorta scared to get them since this will be my first time growing these.
It should be exciting though, I'm sure i'll be posting for all sorts of culture advice ;)

WOW! One of my favorites. I have one miltoniopsis for about 6 months, but it haven't bloomed for me yet.... May be it needs more day/night temperature difference than I can provide....

Beautiful flowers, not easy to get these where I live but I really love seeing them.

Even if only online.

Thanks for sharing.

Your gonna love them, we were just there for the open house and I picked another one out(dk red/waterfall), they were all big and bushy and almost busting out of their pots.:biggrin:

Sarah, that is a stunning plant and flower. Well grown.

I slandered my poor plant..... I've found two spikes on my Miltoniopsis today! You can't imagine how happy I am!

Shadow that's great !!! Don't forget to show us when it blooms :photo:

If you can provide the plant with any extra humidity now, it helps the flowers to open fully.

I've never had much luck with Miltoniopsis although under my cool conditions they should thrive...guess my watering needs some tweeking. The fragrance is indeed lovely in these. Well done in your case!

My conditions are nor coll. Usual room temperature, but it stays close to the window and gets little evening temperature drop. I added sphagnum moss to the potting medium and water the plant when it is almost, but not completely dry. Good luck with your plant!
