Miltonia spectabilis var moreliana

[NatalieS]

My first bloom on this little plant. This is also the first species orchid to bloom for me. Hopefully the first of many!

First picture was taken on Sunday and the second today. I posted these in the project plant thread as well - sorry for the repeats!

What a beauty....I love the colors and form....maybe next blooming cycle it will give you bigger, flatter and several flowers....once this blooms it will keep on blooming for you

Thanks Bud!

Yes, I'm hoping for many growths and hopefully more blooms next year as this is still a small plant with only a few pbulbs. I don't know if the flower gets much flatter though - I believe that their petals always tend to curl back. I could be wrong though!

Beautiful!
