NOID Miltonia with 20 blooms
 

This is a rescue from my friends back yard. Was looking quite sad last year. This year it rewarded me with 20 blooms. Grown mostly outside.

Enjoy!

Wow! Totally gorgeous! Great growing. What is it potted in? I'm always torn whether to use just moss or the fine bark, moss, perlite combo. I have some in both but the jury is still out.

May I be jealous, they are so hard to keep in flats… (in Europe) :) lucky you.

Thank you. They like the cool summer evenings here. This orchid is grown in 80% Sphag and 20% medium grade bark with a liberal layer of broken clay pot shards in the bottom.

You should see this plant when I rescued it. It was in a very sad shape.

Wow!!! Great looking!!! Wonderful blooms! Makes you happy just looking at it!!
Not the easiest plant to flower in Greece as well!
I think it's a Miltoniopsis, no???

Thanks for the info. Our evenings aren't cold but around 60 to 65 degrees usually in the summer. Sometimes a bit warmer. It looks like you are doing everything right to bring this back from near death so well!

Well done on your Growing! You obviously have the right conditions for these
As the posters above I to do not find these easy @ all but am trying to keep my only one I have alive (had it just over a year)
Congratulations on making it come back in such a spectacular way!

WoW! Thats phenomenal!! Congrats :)

WOW! Spectacular! Great save :wtg:

When you say grown mostly outside, is it in a covered area, or does it get rained on and exposed to the elements? I would like to try several of mine outside in the summer and see how they compare to the ones grown indoors in the greenhouse where the temps can get pretty high in the day.
