they are from town. I have been to their greenhouse twice and bought several plants from him. cool stuff.

Yes I saw that plant from the exhibit. The plant is a specimen cattleya. If we are talking about the same thing.

Ok...yes, that is the plant. I had a blast. My first exhibit/sale. The gentleman was super helpful. I'll post when they bloom...they are in bud stage.

I have that same Aliceara, and I love it. I posted a picture of it on here not too long ago. The purple edges on yours are darker than they are on mine, probably because I can't keep mine very cool. Did you notice that it is fragrant? I didn't notice a fragrance when I bought it last year, but I definitely can smell it this year.

I don't detect a scent on mine and I've tried smelling it on different times of the day. none. I have been interested in getting this plant online since the time I saw it but can't remember why I didn't buy it. I don't have the best eyesight but when I saw it at the show sticking out and the only one of that kind for sale, no time for second thoughts!

Here are two pictures of my purchases finally blooming.
First pic is my Miltoniopsis I love the dark red color...
the second pic is my Cattleya. The Cattleya only has one bloom and is rather small. It is a Hsin Buu Lady.

Thanks. I've never owned a Miltoniopsis before and am a bit concerned about watering. I'm used to letting my orchid roots dry out completely. I think I'm going to try the bamboo skewer method until I get the 'feel' of the weight of a near-dry pot.
