Miltonidium Rosy Sunset
Only got a small single spike this year, but the plant made up for it with larger than usual blooms. I got it 3 years ago as a single bulb plant for free at a show (all visitors got one at the door) and it really has grown very well. Last year it had 3 large, branched spikes but all the poor orchids were very neglected this spring/summer. I was too busy helping my mother pack and move out of the apartment to spend much time taking care of the orchids.
Oh, and it's fragrant too!  Nice sweet smell, it's something in between chocolate and vanilla

I have one I got a Trader Joe's last year. Rebloomed. a spike a month ago (not too many flowers) but it is developing another spike that looks more lush. I am fertilizing more. seems to grow many new PB. how many growth does yours have Camille? do you have a photo of the whole plant?
Mine is fragrant only in the morning.

I'll get a pic of it later today. In 3 years it went from 1 PB to 10 mature + 8 new growths now. All the bulbs that matured this spring are small though, for the reason I mentioned in my first post.
Mine's fragrant all day, but it's strongest in the morning.
