Miltoniopsis or Miltonia?
1 Attachment(s)
Googling around has just confused me as to which is which. I was wondering if what we have here is a miltoniopsis or miltonia. I'm pretty sure it's a miltoniopsis but I wanted to double check so I know we're treating it right. Also, the leaves on it are quite pale, but I think that's normal with miltoniopsis (especially one this white)?

Miltoniopsis. Yes, I think light green foliage is good.
|
One general rule is that Miltoniopsis have the cleft in the lip which is evident here.
|
Another confirmation that your plant is a Miltoniopsis, and it looks healthy. Assuming you are following normal fertilizer use with micronutrients I would have no concern about the color of the leaves.

Miltoniopsis. Miltonia usually only habe one flower per spike. And there is not a white Miltonia that I know of.

I have never heard of Miltonia only getting a single bloom per spike. |
Sorry. I must be referencing from the Miltonia spectabilis. But please educate me on these species and flowering patterns.

I'm only familiar with Miltonia flavescens - mine usually blooms in June, with 7-10 blooms per spike. |

Please don't take offense, I'm just letting you know. ;) |
Oh ok. Well that proves to me that I still have a lot to learn before life is over. :-D

From what I've seen Miltioniopsis tends to be the rounder fuller flowers like this, Miltonia tends to be more star like shape of flowers. It might not be a good rule, but that's what I've seen and what makes me immediately think yours is Miltoniopsis.

Good observations from the others, and yes, the Miltoniopsis has paler foliage.
My white Mtps is called "Pacific Clouds" and looks much like yours. Does your have a tag? |
