Miltonia spectabilis Bicolor
I have been waiting and waiting for this guy to bloom again this year. I bought it last year at the redlands show and it gave me 20+ blooms. This year it's giving me 36!!!!  
I love, love this chid.

This guy was med size in a 6" plastic basket. It has doubled in size in 1 year. Growing out around and under the basket. A good friend is getting a division as soon as it's finished blooming. |

What a spectacular looking plant!
How are you growing it? Mine grows and grows and grows but never flowers. It was meant to be blooming size when I got it a couple of years ago and as I said above it really grows like a weed (though no where near as big as yours), I just can't get it to flower.
