I have this Miltassia that i cant seem to get the name of i think it is either Miltassia Toscana or Miltassia Kauai's Choice but i know one that looks like this one is Miltassia Shelob 'Tolkien' but the lip is in a different colour.

I've seen pics of Toscana on the web that look like yours. But it is not a registered name. The Kauai's Choice shown in OrchidWiz have much darker petals and sepals than this one. If it didn't have a tag, it will likely have to remain a NOID.

Sorry forgot to add the 2 unopened flowers in the picture ended up to have a solid dark spot like the Kauai's Choice.. But my guess was also it is the Toscana just didnt know its not a named orchid though and no it had no tag so that sucks!!

Might be a Brassia ...
Ok - I googled "Brassia Toscana", and that seems to be it :) ... altho, now looking on the RHS site, there isn't a Brassia registered with that name ... the only thing that came up searching for the grex "Toscana" is Cattleya Orquidacea's Toscana |
There is one registered as Brassidium Toskana, maybe it is that?

There are a lot of very similar plants to this. Without a tag it's really impossible to say.
However, if you did have a tag... A lot of plants are being sold as Toscanna in Europe: after some research (I have one...) I found out they are actually Brassidium Spider Star 'Toscanna'. The Toscanna is a clone name not a grex, which is why it doesn't come up if you search the RHS register. Well that's what I thought... I'll have to check out Kevin's Brassidium Toskana now! LOL Anyway... I certainly couldn't say yours is the same plant as mine. I'd say yours is perhaps sligly more yellow in the petals and with longer petals... but in this group differences between grexes really can be more subtle than differences caused by different culture so it's impossible to say. It would be irresponsible to label it. |
