Default Miltonia flavescens

Native to Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Cool - Warm growing, tho mine takes short periods of quite hot temps, as well as short periods of rather cold temps (freezing, or just below) - but is sheltered during extremes.

This is a WEED! LOL. I got this three years ago as a small division - one mature growth with two new growths that had just finished blooming (this blooms on not yet mature growth). Look at it now! Each growth will get two new growths, so you can see how this becomes huge very quickly. It also has a sprawling rhizome, which makes it difficult to keep in a pot.

I don't know why only some new growth blooms

It has a few 'deformed' blooms this year (blooms were all normal last year - only had one spike) - missing or underdeveloped petals. I haven't used superthrive or other hormones, so don't know what might have caused this

Other than the few odd blooms - this has been a VERY easy grower and bloomer for me.

Thanks for looking
