Miltonia noid

[Rakeru]

This orchid was labelled simply as Miltonia. Could anyone help me to identify it correctly?

Thanks in advance

If you're looking for a proper name for it, you're never going to find it. There are way too many hybrids that look alike. But yours is really pretty, I love the two purple 'eyes' it has!

As Camille says you will probably never find it's full name if it didn't come with one.

To me that looks like a Miltoniopsis which often get labled as Miltonia. The Miltonia care sheet covers both.

Yeah, definitely a Miltoniopsis hybrid, and these are commonly referred to as Miltonia, usually with Miltoniopsis roezlii and Miltoniopsis vexillaria being the predominate species in the mix. There are dozens of hybrids of similar appearance and placing an exact name on it will be speculative at best.

Check out this photo this is
Milt. Herralexandre 'Floricultura'. I have been growing it for about 12 years now, grows and flowers very well.

Ok sorry I can see the photo didnot show up..... I have never done this before ....I will wait till my son gets up and let him show me

[scout]

Ok I am going to try this again

[Rakeru]

Thank you all.

I had that was difficult. That's why I ask for help

Some weeks ago I find by chance a picture of a Miltoniopsis Herralexandre. That made me doubt it's a Miltonia or a Miltoniopsis.

RosieC, thanks for the info.

scout, I really think my orchid could be Milt. Herralexandre. Have you really been growing it for 12 years? I'm sure you could tell me about care info

Grow this one like all Miltoniopsis, medium light , intermediate temperature, keep roots moist not to wet feed very very lightly , they have very thin roots and donot like hard water minerals or salts from the fertilizer to build up on the roots. You can find a culture sheet on the board
Just like Camilli and PaphMadMan said there are lots of Miltoniopsis that look like this one so it
Is hard to be 100% sure, the best you can do is to is to compare every part of the flower and color and leaf growth also.
So now lets add a little more mystery to this, from the same seed pod that your Miltoniopsis came from you can and will have plants that will look a little different from each other, some alot different
some can have much larger eyes or some no eyes, some will have much larger flowers some will have much rounder shapes some will have less yellow in the crest (upper lip area).
Seedlings from hybrid crosses can look different then each other, that’s why when I want something that’s very important to me, I will look for a division or a mericlone of the plant that I want.
I hope this helps.

[Rakeru]

Of course it helps.

Thanks
