Default Odontonia Yellow Parade

This one is a cross between a complex Odontoglossum and a Miltoniopsis. The shape is like a typical odont but it has the fragrance of the Miltoniopsis. It blooms on average every 9 months.

Very cool! I assume similar size to Miltoniopsis?

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Ross, the flowers are the size of typical Odonts. The only obvious feature to come from the Miltoniopsis is the fragrance.

The Miltoniopsis is M. Alexandre Dumas, back four generations from the cross at hand. Not surprising that there isn't much Miltoniopsis shape influence, there. Some of those Odonts have VERY strong dominance in lip shape, which is normally the biggest form change with Odontonias from milts.

Beautiful thing, even if it does just look like and Odont.
