It's Miltoniopsis time!

A few of my Miltoniopsis are in bloom at the moment. The largest one is a NOID that I got from Safeway last fall out of bloom for 1/2 price. It had 10 spikes but 1 is behind and the other bloomed early. I came home the other day from being away and the blooms had opened and were filling a large area of the house with perfume :) The others are all scented as well. Most of the others are just 1 or 2 blooms and are on fairly small plants.

The first 2 are the NOID, next is Milt. Isler's Red which I can never find as registered and yet is sold that way. 4th photo is Milt. Newton Falls and 5th is Milt. Hawaiian Waters. Both of the last two are somewhat different looking than their blooms from last year!
The Hawaiian Waters (last photo) had part of the lip petal very stuck under the pollen cap and wouldn't come out on its own. So I freed it, but tore the petal in the process!

Thanks everyone! Funny that my NOID is the largest and most successful of my Milts to date :roll: My culture leaves a lot to be desired, but it is a work in progress. I'll figure these cuties out yet!

Lucky you, it's so hard to grow them for some (like me…)
