Miltonia Up Country Puna 'Keaau Starr'

When I got this it was a pitiful small three shriveled bulb specimen in a 2.5 inch pot. After suffering on and off with Erwinia the plant finally stabilized. I repotted it up in s/h and although it seemed a bit dehydrated, at least the plant began growing again

I considered it a victory just to get some foliage going this past winter....and to my surprise, the buds formed

Now they are opening and I am happy to share
It's been a long three years for this little guy!
Hope you enjoy

It's beautiful! What a nice reward for your patience and hard work. Is it fragrant?

Gern ----> Sadly it is not fragrant.

Junebug ----> It is very rewarding because my failure rate under those circumstances is VERY high
