Vuylstekeara Fall in Love 'Lovely Lady'
 
3 Attachment(s)
Vuylstekeara Fall in Love 'Lovely Lady' AM/AOS in bloom.
This one is an intergeneric hybrid consisting of Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum.
Vuylstekeara Fall in Love ‘Lovely Lady’ AM/AOS is Vuyl. Memoria Mary Kavanaugh x Oda. Helen Stead.
This is a plant that puts out stunning lavender flowers. The flowers can be up to five inches across and they are long-lasting and mildly fragrant like the scent of talcum baby powder.
They are easy to grow, too. Provide bright indirect light and a temperature range of 60 to 85 degrees. Allow to get almost dry, but not quite, between watering, just like I care for Phals. I fertilize twice a month with alternating seaweed mix and worm tea mix.
These are clones of the 85-point award winner with two pseudobulbs and one new growth. They are in coarse bark, lava rock, charcoal and hydroton mix.

Well Bud, the taxonomists have done it to us again. Once a Vulstekeara, now(for the time being, at least) a Miltonidium. The Cochlioda, and all of the Odontoglossums in the background of Fall in Love have become Oncidiums. The only species in its background left unchanged is Miltonia spectabilis. Very nice flowers. (Probably a bit too much crispum to like our summers)

I'm 1 update behind in OrchidWiz, but mine still shows Vuylstekeara as the only name?

Lovely blooms Bud. I have two of these Vuylstekeara's (or whatever they are now) with pink/purple blooms and so far am really liking them.

Thank You, Silken! These flowers made my day...after battles with mites, fungus and leaf sunspots...the flowers turned out perfect!
