Miltoniopsis and Intergeneric Hybrids
Miltoniopsis, abbreviated Mps. in horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids. It consists of 6 species, native to Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Colombia. They are named after Lord Fitzwilliam Milton, an English orchid enthusiast. They differ from Miltonia by having one leaf to each pseudobulb, and a lobed column that is united to the labellum through a keel. In addition, the column is not concave at the base.[by Wikipedia]
Unless otherwise indicated, all of the following are MATURE, blooming size plants that have BLOOMED AT LEAST ONCE PREVIOUSLY and should bloom within a year in their upcoming blooming season.

Indeed a very prolific bloomer with branching spikes carrying numerous Miltoniopsis-looking flowers in almost solid hot pink. Very nice and a bit easier to grow around here than straight Miltoniopsis. |
