Miltonia Bert Fields 'Leash'

[RJSquirrel]

my new found skill..correct botanical names

I got this plant and the photo showed it was deep red. Well its purple to me. Maybe after it is open all the way for a few more days it might turn dark red. I dont think so. I like it anyway. Below the blooms, are my baby Bert Fields. The Bert Fields farm. You can grow these indoors between 60 and 80 degrees. They dont like heat and they dont like to dry out. Lots of fresh air and high light even though they are typically said to be lower light plants I believe. You keep them in less light they wont bloom for you. They will grow just no bloom. This one has 4 spikes and 22 buds/blooms..by the time I'm back next week should have full compliment of wow flowers
