Orchidman, if you can grow this plant you can grow Miltonopsis. They can be grown side by side. The new Milt. are much more temp tolerant.

hope so. I looked up informations on wilsonara. some of them are warm tolerant but most are cool growing, although I couldn't find out any info regarding this specific hybrid.
It is growing new shoots, so I guess so far so goo. let's wait for the summer. 
Have you grown this??
I don't have a clue what the breeding background is behind this white miltoniopsis, but I did find white miltoniopsis that are a bit warm tolerant. Thing is I didn't like that other white one. it is white with light yellow center. I like the brown ink mark on the center of this one.  |

Wilsonara is an intergenric hybrid between Cochlioda, Odontoglossum and Oncidium of which Cochlioda and Odontoglossum are both cool growers.
I have grown this before, they are always available here in our local trader joes. I grew this outdoors here. Temps varies from the 40s in the winter all the way to 80s in the summer. They are very easy as long as no sun burn. I know I like to burn my plants LOL.

Thank you for sharing your growing condition.
Wow~ they must take quite the temperature range. I was worried they would suffer here, but the new shoots have been growing so far, so I will have to see how it does here.
Speaking of Trader Joes, I saw a few of these at Trader Joes in Chelsea last weekend as I was walking by. They were only $12!!! but they were much smaller in size and flower count. so I didn't feel too bad.

I didn't know we had Trader Joe in Manhattan. I think I've seen two or three so far.
now with that price, I'm tempted to get one just to enjoy the flowers and the scent. |

Hi, all! I just purchased a Wils. Aloha Sparks "Halloween" and was looking for culture info on this thread when I cam across this term: "concertinas on new growths", which has me stumped. This is an old thread, but, Rosie, if you are still here, can you explain? Or anyone? Thanks!! |
