Most Fragrant Miltonopsis/Miltonia?
 

Hi All,

I bought my first miltonopsis a couple weeks ago (hajime ono H184) and love the look and room filling scent! Its strength is on par I think with my Sharry Baby and Maxillariella tenuifolia.

I'm looking for recommendations for other miltonias or miltonopsis varieties people know have a nice/interesting scent? Something sweet like jasmine or citrusy is ok, but just looking for ideas to target.

I read online the miltonia spectabilis moreliana has a licorice type scent?

Thanks!

Welcome! And thanks for showing us your beautiful plant!

Welcome to OrchidBoard :)

Welcome. I just bought one entirely due to the fragrance surrounding the table in the greenhouse. Coupled with the beautiful flowers, I was a goner! I was watching the first of the buds unfurling today. I am pacified by the fragrance of 2 other newly purchased orchids as I wait.

Greetings! Lovely plant and yes,that Milt. you mention does smell of licorice.Recently repotted mine so now the wait begins!

Hi everyone! Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll be sure to order a moreliana. Any other recommendations? I'm headed to Hawaii for a couple weeks so maybe I can report back some new finds. :biggrin:

Let us know what you find. I have been thinking about getting more scented milts. I was interested to see what people recomend. I have a Miltoniopsis Mario Van Peebles and it is lightly pleasantly scented. The flowers last a long time too. I'm sure there are some new sweet smelling hybrids out there.

Hearing people talk about scented cool-growing Militoniopsis, I feel like the kid allergic to chocolate on Halloween.

Beautiful and welcome.

I just grow mine inside in a clay pot. You could grow it.

I outgrew my chocolate allergy ;)

But yeah I'll post what I find in a couple weeks.

I did email Komoda on Maui to see if he takes visitors but never got an answer. Guess that's a no? His website seems dated compared to others. Anyone ever order from I.N. Komoda?
